The rear of the Rodin museum and the rear of the statue in the fountain. It's mooning me!The garden includes several little fountains or pools, a large grassy esplanade, and a shady café for light, exorbitantly priced, refreshment. Here and there you can see bits of the city poking up beyond the garden walls, but inside you feel miles away from the hustle and bustle.
Looking out over the garden from an open window in the museum.Walking under the shade trees on this day was very pleasant, as the temperature was nearly as high as the sun. There were a few people around, but the crowds of summer seemed to have diminished. We were lucky.
That looks just like my place. Well, except for the garden, pond and house. But other than that, the spitting image.

Just got up from the couch after watching Midnight in Paris, a new Woody Allen movie. Rodin's garden is featured amongst many wonderful Paris scenes. The movie has a very intriguing story line. Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Picasso, Dali, Stein - No, I won't say any more.

I'm so glad Mark clarified. I actually thought it WAS his house! Spectacular. One of these days...
ReplyDeleteSeptember is always the best time to be in Paris. Fewer tourist and better weather.
ReplyDeleteI've heard nothing but amazing things about this museum but unfortunately I didn't get to see it while I was in Paris. Next time!
ReplyDeletemark, exactly what I was thinking...
