Meet your private guide outside the museum at the right side of the main entrance before getting access to one of Paris’ best-kept secrets, the Hotel Biron, and explore the Mansion and Gardens where Rodin once lived and where Nearly 300 of its works are on view today The museum includes 400 pieces of art in its galleries and in the sumptuous gardens. Perhaps the most famous of Rodin’s sculptures, The Thinker (1880), lies in the gardens opposite The Gates of Hell, a work that consumed him over the last three decades of his life. Some of the other works located in the gardens include Balzac and The Burghers of Calais. At the end of your private tour, you will have the opportunity to spend more time in the gardens, a great way to end your tour by simply sitting down, while meditating on the work of Auguste Rodin, probably one of the most famous French artists and rightly regarded as the father of modern sculpture.
