Musée Rodin

Today, it was a gorgeous day in Paris! Sunny, clear and high-50's (or as we say in France, inthe low-teens..., 12C). After a very long class about the history of many streets of Paris, we went to the Musée Rodin, near the Hôtel des Invalides (built by Louis XIV, and where Napoleon is buried). As we exited the metro at "Invalides", on the Seine, at the bridge "Pont Alexandre III", famous for it's golden markers, we watched the end of a photo shoot and a model hurried away. It was cool! Glamorous Paris!

We then walked down the boulevard Rodin to the Rodin Museum (the famous sculptor, "The Thinker"). The gardens are nice, even in mid-winter. The sculptures are fascinating, but the views of the Invalides and the Eiffel tower along with the sculptures was really picturesque. It's a really pretty place to go sit and relax (at the cost of 4 €). Here are the pictures from our outing at the Musée Rodin. 

The weather is going to be beautiful for the next week, sunny and in the mid-50's. This weekend, we are taking a trip to Normandy, St. Malo and Mt. St. Michel. We are leaving Paris at 7h15 in the morning on Saturday- ouch, and are coming back on Sunday night around 16h or 18h (yes, French times!).

Well, it's time to go get ready to go to Club Mix, in Montparnasse. À tout à l'heure!
