The cemetery was unlike any that I have ever seen. I have devoted a section of my site for those pictures. I think most people initially travel to Pere Lachaise for the dead "celebrities" but they soon get sucked in to the beauty of this place of death. It's not a flawless beauty, however, age has taken its toll on Paris' first formal burial ground: Tombs are falling part, mausoleum doors have caved in, statues have been chipped away by the elements and monuments and crosses lie on their side, toppled by age. Only the recent graves have fresh flowers. The rest have been forgotten by time. Jim's grave is tucked away next to two very elaborate graves. It's no more than a sandy pit with a rusted copper plaque.
