A short review -
So much here, and so beautiful inside. I really loved the ceiling. And i got some shoes to boot! It definitely seemed pretty crowded but it had a great selection. Why can't American department stores be this beautiful? I'm jealous.

Now, visit the Rue Mouffetard Market and get a feel of the real Paris. It is a outdoor market and you will love strolling here on the cobblestone streets. The market is located in one of the oldest streets of Paris and is reasonably priced. There are many vegetable, fish, cheese shops in the area. Having some snacks in one of the restaurants would not be a bad idea at all. A perfect place to live a day as a Parisian.

An invaluable review -
I have been to the Musee Rodin three times and each time is great. Beautiful grounds with the sculptures among the trees and hedges. There is a nice shop to buy a lunch and drinks. Lots of seating in the garden area for a picnic. It is very close to the subway. Nice way to see what a Paris home looked like in the late 19th century.
