La Cimitiere Pere LaChaise

This is the famous cemetery where forty two years ago Jim Morrison was laid to rest.  Have always wanted to visit (I like cemeteries anyway, and love Jim Morrison, well I did, he's dead). So I made it there this time.  It's very densely populated, and is Paris' largest cemetery.  I found it quite moving and beautiful.  I'll bet he's the third most visited dead person in the world, after Mao and Lenin.


The tomb on the right looks like a dog house, eh?

I can't figure out what his epigram says

I kind of feel sorry for his neighbors

A constant stream to pay their respects


The cemetery even has a Metro stop
