Musée Rodin

The Rodin Museum is housed in the Hôtel Biron, a Neoclassical-style mansion that is recognized as a Historical Monument from the 18th century. The property's formal garden, with its shady trees and well-kept shrubbery, inspired French sculptor Auguste Rodin.

Hundreds of works by Rodin, including his famous sculptures as well as his paintings and drawings, are on display in the museum. Rodin's collection, which includes works by Claude Monet, August Renoir, and Vincent van Gogh, is also on display. The Thinker (Le Penseur), the Monument to the Burghers of Calais (Les Bourgeois de Calais), and The Gates of Hell (La Porte d'Enfer) are among the sculptures on display in the stunning three-hectare Sculpture Garden. After visiting the collections in the mansion, guests can stroll around the Sculpture Garden and have lunch or afternoon tea or coffee and dessert at L'Augustine, a café-restaurant.
