I found yours via Genie's which I found via Eric's.<br /><br />The Musee Rodin is my favorite single artist museum in Paris. I love the building itself and, of course, the exquisite works within it. This particular photo from the Rodin is meaningful to me, because it captures what is one of my two favorite pieces there, The Hand of God. In my visits to the Rodin, I circled around and around this sculpture and did not believe I could find any angle from which to take a picture that would do justice to this masterpiece. However, YOU have captured a fabulous photo! What makes it even more wonderful for me is that I can see my other Rodin favorite, The Kiss, as well as some of the beauty of the building, in the background. Thank you for sharing this!!Parisian Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02223146799599483407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8865814823931525026.post-8027971846974321402011-01-05T03:38:39.239-06:002011-01-05T03:38:39.239-06:00My fave and the best ever musée for a date with mo...My fave and the best ever musée for a date with mon amore. . .Claudel and Rodin made their stone works breathe life.

If you're planning a trip to Milan or the Lake Como area, do not miss it!

And the wood floors creaking, I remember that too :-) We then ate lunch in the café in the gardens (inside of course).

I have ALMOST learned the Metro system with only a glitch now and then. :) Some readers assume I live there ( be still my heart) and all I have to say to that is: "If I lived in Paris my French would be a whole lot better than it is now!"
