The scene
What happened at Musée Rodin
Gil, Inez and the pedantic Paul tour the gardens with a guide played by Carla Bruni. Paul insists he knows more about Rodin’s love life than she does. He doesn’t.
The museum fills the Hôtel Biron, where Auguste Rodin lived and worked. The Thinker sits among the roses outside.
Then & Now
On location today
The garden is one of the most peaceful places in Paris, with The Thinker, The Gates of Hell and The Burghers of Calais outside.
