“Think,” said the poet Rainer Maria Rilke, who lived briefly at the Hotel Biron in Paris and who introduced the magnificent eighteenth century manour to the sculptor Rodin, who made it his studio, his permanent home and a museum of his works, “of the world you carry within you.” The gardens of the Hotel Biron, which opened as the Musee Rodin in 1919, are one of my favourite places in Paris to just be – to sit, to watch, to contemplate. No matter where I go, I will always carry a little bit of it with me.
“Pensez,” a dit le poète Rainer Maria Rilke, qui habitait brièvement l’Hôtel Biron à Paris et qui a fait découvrir son ami Rodin ce magnifique manoir du dix-huitième siècle, “au monde que vous portez avec vous.” Peu de temps après, M. Rodin a loué l’Hôtel, qui est devenu son atelier, sa maison et un musée de ses œuvres. Le jardin de l’Hôtel Biron est parmi mes endroits préférés à Paris – j’aime y passer des heures à contempler rien de particulier. Je le porterai toujours avec moi, peu importe où je suis.
The architecture in France and in particular in Paris has been so much influenced by the Romans. It's amazing how many hidden artifacts could be found if you look around this beautiful city! 🙂
Cee, I could sit and contemplate ALL DAY there! The hotel and it's grounds are super exquisite! Omg'sh it's breathtaking. Thanks for sharing these beautiful pictures. http://www.averysweetblog.com/

I love that place too, and your pictures are amazing! I love the sculptures close ups, everything is so inspiring! And yes, we all have a world inside, for sure! Once I heard that “every life is a book”. I guess that's the world of the quote! I love quotes! Great post and I am glad you enjoy Rodin so much! denisesplanet com
What a story book of a place! This hotel is stunning and the history behind it is equally fabulous! That's what I love about Europe – there's so much history everywhere you go. I'd love to visit one day!! xo
Oh my goodness, these pictures are so beautiful. I went to this hotel/Rodin sculpture garden the one ime I was in Paris, and I've wanted to go back and see it and the beautiful city ever since.
The flowers are superb. The hydrangeas? Wow. No wonder it was a source of artistic inspiration.
