Our second day in Paris we got up and headed out with the Rodin Museum as our first stop. Rodin was a sculpture and his most famous work is The Thinker.
We had some fruit that we picked up at Marks & Spencers the night before so we ate them and then headed out to the metro. We arrived at the Museum, prepared to learn about Rodin!
The gardens were beautiful, especially the roses!
The Gates of Hell which is an unfinished work. This one is at his museum, there is another at the Meuso d'Orsay.
Posing!
Look at my Thinkers!
This is the original!
In the gift shop, note the top right hand book. In France they do not look for Waldo or Wally (like in the UK) they search for Charlie!
Some of us had lunch in the cafe, two kids decided to just eat a pain au chocolate.... they were a tiny bit hungry later, but I made them wait for dinner and advised them to pick better next time!
We then headed to the Jardin de Luxembourg. As you can see I loved the flowers! The mixes are so beautiful and so much more refreshing then the beds of the same plants that we see over and over in the US. We also spied a ton of bee hives, which was very interesting that they were in a park. They were behind fences, so they weren't easy to get to, but all the same it was still interesting. The younger two were thrilled when we spied a playground. We did not end up going in though as it cost over 2 Euro to go in! Lots of kids were there, but I was still not wild about paying to pay. Perhaps we are a bit spoiled?
We spent some time in the grass reading and just having some down time. It was then that I remembered that the Louvre was open late.... to be continued!
