The woman who we are renting the apartment from stopped by last night, wonderfully fun woman who is from New York and has lived in Paris now over 15 years. We took her out to dinner, a restaurant she knows well, totally French, no tourists, we had an amazing meakL, wine and incredible dessert. Anyway we told Debra we really did not want to crowd into packed museums with all the tourists (there's a theme here). Debra suggested we check out the Musee Bourdelle. We did, it was quite far, but we found it. This is the sculptor artist, Antoine Bourdelle. The museum was actually created around his Paris apartment where he lived and created masterpiece sculptures from age 16 in
1885 to his death in 1929.
The museum was beautiful, with his huge sculptures, rooms showing how the plaster then bronze sculptures were made, and lush gardens with restful park benches (I took a nap) among sculptures. No (well, maybe just a few) tourists. Well worth the trip.
