Last Day in Paris

For our final day in Paris, we took things relatively slow. We all slept in after a late night of cheering on the USA and meandering home afterward.

We decided to head over to the Rodin museum, which was only a 5 minute walk from our apartment, and would be a new experience for all of us. The museum is a hybrid indoor/outdoor experience, set in a stately old house that Rodin lived in and the beautiful gardens that surround it. We toured it all leisurely, enjoying the world famous sculptures and also the beautiful setting, inside and out. Among other things, we enjoyed a break at the cafe in the well-shaded garden.

We ended buying passes that also included a free entry to the Musee D’Orsay, which we visited immediately after the Rodin. It was nice to spend a little more time enjoying all the impressionist masterpieces in the beautiful setting of the former train station. We even lingered in the penthouse cafe and enjoyed a light lunch.

Finally we headed back to the apartment, and enjoyed one last dinner together at an Italian restaurant just down the street.
