Why The Musée Rodin is one of the best museums in Paris?

/0 Yorumlar/in , /tarafından

The Museum Rodin is one of our favorite museums in Paris. In this article, we will show you why you should definitely see The Musée Rodin when you are in Paris.

First of all, we would like to inform you that The Rodin Museum has two sites: the Hôtel Biron and surrounding grounds in central Paris, as well as just outside Paris at Rodin’s old home, the Villa des Brillants at Meudon. The architecture of these building will affect you deeply while visiting.

The thinker - Le penseur

The thinker – Le penseur

 

The Rodin Museum was opened in 1919, primarily dedicated to the works of the French sculptor Auguste Rodin. Close to the Invalides and the Eiffel Tower, The Musée Rodin is one of the most enchanting place in Paris. It is composed of a unique 18th century mansion and a sculptures garden which covers nearly 3 hectares at the very heart of Paris.

As France Panoramic, we love to visit this unique museum for three reasons: its rich collection of Bronzes, Dessins, Sculptures, its lovely relaxing garden and its history related to Auguste Rodin.

When we say rich collection, we are not exaggerating: The collection includes 6,600 sculptures, 8,000 drawings, 8,000 old photographs and 7,000 art objects. Besides, the museum receives 700,000 visitors annually.

Auguste Rodin used the Hôtel Biron as his workshop from 1908 while living in the Villa des Brillants, and subsequently donated his entire collection of sculptures – along with paintings by Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir that he had acquired – to the French State on the condition that they turn the buildings into a museum dedicated to his works. The Musée Rodin contains most of Rodin’s significant creations, including The Thinker, The Kiss and The Gates of Hell. Many of his sculptures are displayed in the museum’s extensive garden. The museum includes a room dedicated to the works of Camille Claudel and one of the two castings of The Mature Age.

The gardens around the museum building is a paradise on earth when the weather is good. You can walk around, watch painters while painting, have a coffee with a dessert, and relax in this peaceful garden. The gardens contain many of the famous sculptures in natural settings. Behind the museum, there are a small lake and casual restaurant.

Location: 77 rue de Varenne, Paris, France

Métro: Varenne

The building is served by Métro (Line 13), RER (Line C: Invalides) and bus (69, 82, 87, 92).

The Paris Bucket List: The best things to do in the capital of France 

/0 Yorumlar/in , /tarafından

We think that Paris is the most beautiful city in the world. You should definitely visit this romantic city for once in your life. We explain you why we love so much this city of love.

Paris has always been the capitol of the country, the center, the symbol of what France is. This is not true of most other countries. The whole country of France has always taken pride in Paris.

We believe that, in Paris, you will find anything you are interested in.

As mentioned in the famous song of Joe Dassin:

Aux Champs-Elysées, aux Champs-Elysées
Au soleil, sous la pluie, à midi ou à minuit
Il y a tout ce que vous voulez aux Champs-Elysées

Paris hasn’t changed so much over the years so far in the history. There are two reasons why:

When Baron Haussmann and others set about rebuilding Paris, the entire aristocracy and upper bourgeois of France lived there and were in a position to see to it that their ancient and beautiful residences and parks were untouched. And second reason is that, hopefully, Paris was never destroyed during WWl or WWll.

That is why Paris has a great number of historical monuments and treasures. Let’s have a look to our Paris Bucket List to do the best activities in Paris.

Coronavirus: When will life return to normal? 

/0 Yorumlar/in /tarafından

We suppose that everyone is talking about one topic today: Coronavirus (Covid-19)

How can we protect ourselves? When will the coronavirus outbreak end? When will life return to normal? 

We answer to all these questions with this article.

Coronavirus effected whole worldCoronavirus is appeared in Wuhan in last December, made more than 734 thousand people sick today. More than 35 thousand people lost their lives worldwide. You can follow the status of countries here: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries

Schools are actually on vacation for a month (till May). Distance learning is started in some of countries. To prevent the spread of the virus, flights were stopped and travel restrictions were imposed. More than 3 billion people are waiting for the end of this terrible propagation of this virus at their homes. We expect that they will find the cure before May and the life will continue formerly known as before.


Due to the fast diffusion of virus, the economy has come to a halt in countries such as Italy, Spain and China. Billions of people are either working from home or waiting for these terrible days to end in their homes. People miss their social life and want it back badly.


The most touristic cities seem to be abandoned: Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Newyork, London… all these cities turned into ghost cities like in the movies. We will share a video with you. All those touristic famous streets that we have difficulty in walking because of the crowd are empty today. Fortunately, when this epidemic ends, they will be in their places, waiting for our visit.



Be very careful within the virus. Give importance to your hygiene and spend quality time with your beloved ones. We wish good luck to healthcare professionals and employees who has to work from the office.
