We were thrilled that Eva remembered this lovely piece from her first visit to Paris in 2007!The
Musée Rodin is probably one of my favorite museums in Paris. Today was my third visit, and I enjoyed it just as much as I have previously. The weather was perfect, and we had a little excitement to start our visit. We were able to observe our first "Parisian protest"!! ( It's amazing that it took 3 visits to find one!) We have no idea what they were all hot and bothered about, but they were orderly, LOUD, and tied up a number of tour buses for a while. The police showed up in force and it appeared ( to us anyway) that was it was very well organized and managed. They moved down the street in a while so the traffic could move again and did their thing right outside of the museum entrance. We waded through it all and were relieved to get inside! When we left several hours later, everyone had magically vanished. Maybe some of my Parisian experts can tell us what happened.
I 've posted a lot of photos previously
here and
here about this small but elegant museum. This time we were able to have a nice lunch at the cafe adjoining the museum. We also learned that there are sandboxes etc for children!
UPDATE: I hear from a well connected viewer that President Obama is in town! Maybe we'll get together while he's here!
UPDATE II: Peter, our resident Paris expert, tells me the protest had something to do with the farmers and milk prices. Case closed.
