Musée Rodin

A house, a garden and sculpture that rewards a slower look. This is art with breathing space.

Why make time for it?

The Hôtel Biron setting makes this a different proposition from a day inside a vast museum. Divide your time between the rooms and garden, noticing how the sculpture changes against trees and sky. It suits couples and art lovers who prefer one substantial visit to a string of ticket slots.

Who it suits

Art lovers and couples who enjoy a garden as much as the rooms inside.
