Morning light moves over gravel and bronze in the Musée Rodin garden, where the air smells faintly of metal and autumn leaves. A small group gathers at the Hôtel Biron entrance; the guide unfolds a story that begins in plaster, continues in cast bronze, and ends in the quiet authority of the gallery rooms. The pace is deliberate—close looks, a pause for context, and then a slow walk through the courtyard and galleries.
