The Musée Rodin Paris Gardens are best visited during the summer months of April to September when the weather is mild and flowers are in full bloom. May and June are particularly beautiful for picnics. If you’re looking for more favorable weather, visiting during the Fall would be the best option. It’s best to arrive early and secure your spot to have a more memorable visit to the Musée Rodin.

Spanning over 3 hectares, the gardens surround the mansion-turned-museum that was once the house of Auguste Rodin. The gardens are easily accessible by public transportation and is also closely located to the historical Invalides complex.
The Musée Rodin Gardens houses a collection of over 20 bronze sculptures by Auguste Rodin. Take a leisurely stroll through the gardens and marvel at the exquisite details of his most famous works such as "The Thinker" and "The Gates of Hell." In addition to these iconic sculptures, the gardens also feature a number of lesser-known pieces, many of which were donated by Rodin himself in 1916.
The sculptures aren’t the only thing that’ll catch your eye in the Musée Rodin Gardens. Treat your senses to a beautiful botanical oasis that adds an ornamental touch to the sculptures. Discover a variety of mini-gardens such as the rose garden, the iris garden, and more. Walk through over 2,000 rose bushes of over 100 varieties as well as a forest of linden trees and ivy-laden lawns. And while you’re making the most of it, be sure to capture a moment near the ornamental pond!
