Continue down the Rue Aristide Briand to the Rue de Bourgogne, and make a right on Rue de Varenne. On your left is the Hôtel Biron, home to the Musée Rodin. This elegant, state-owned mansion dating from 1731 is completely surrounded by gardens; it is where one of France’s greatest sculptors, Auguste Rodin, once lived and worked. By 1909 it was a crumbling shadow of its former 18th-century glory, having been occupied by a religious order from the time of Napoleon, and then used as inexpensive housing for artists.
Rodin donated all of his sculptures, private drawings and personal collections to the state on the condition that the mansion was turned into a museum. It opened in 1919 with over 600 sculptures, including The Thinker and The Kiss. The gardens, which can be accessed independent of the museum for Euro 1, have many of his most famous sculptures, and a café open in nice weather.
