Cemetery Favorites

by OrlandoBR - last update: Sep 15, 2003

Cimetière du Montparnasse

The favorite themes are people crying, dead people laying down, spirits coming out from their tombs, animals...
I'd be thankful if someone could explain why people leave subway tickets on J.P.Sartre-Simone de Beauvoir's tomb.
This is the tomb of the man who sculpted the Statue of Liberty, Auguste Bartholdi.
The most unusual tombs: a bird figure, in many pieces of broken mirror.
A psychodelic cat, that has to be my favorite tomb...

And now the Père-Lachaise

This is the tomb of Victor Noir, a 19th century journalist depicted lying on the floor after being shot and killed. Legend has it that the women who kiss him will get married, and in fact my companion dragged me here just to do that...

 The worst hotel. It isn'tas shown on photos and video. Cubicle, smelly rooms, rude staff. Front desk was not allowed to call a shuttle to airport because they only sell Air France bus. Stay in somewhere else to avoid wasting your money

 You have some great restaurant tips. They will come in handy for my upcoming Paris trip.

 Aaaaah, grey skies in Paris beat sunny skies anywhere else, don't they?! We need to revisit this city. One of these eons...;-)
