Cemetery to the Stars
Back to Cimetière du Père-Lachaise
It was pretty, peacful, and sweet, it was a perfect place for my husband and I to go to for our honey moon. And May is the perfect time to go there too.

A great chance for reminiscence of great personalities of music, art, film, theatre and literature while visiting their final resting places. How courageous and determined they had to be creating against all odds, fighting closed minds, rigid and religious beliefs. One feels grateful for their brave and tireless work in creating their masterpieces.

I LOVE it there, 28 acre cemetary with thousands of famous people who cannot talk back to you or refute the lastest movie review. I always bring wine to Jim and pour it over his grave. He is thirsty after being there so long. Tis is one of my FAV places in Paris!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is boring, creepy and ungainly, It has completely put me off being buried when I die, I hope I never set eyes on it again

Other than the gloomy and chilly weather in mid November, this cemetary took half a day to explore. It was amazing the number of people who found themselves using this cemetary as a final resting place. Locating those people, though, definately requires a map! Due to the light situation during my visit, I was able to capture quite a few wonderful pictures of the stained glass within the jewish section, the flower laiden nook that is Jim Morrison's grave and some spectacular headstones.

My wife was pretty hyped to visit the cemetary. It was interesting to see the huge grave sites and it certainly was more interesting than cemetaries that you see in Minnesota, but it's certainly not on my list of things to see if you only have a week in Paris.

First thought, wear good walking shoes. There are a lot of levels here.

When I came back from my trip to Paris, my parents could not understand why I kept going on and on about the cemetaries that I saw in Paris and the people buried there. I tried in vain to explain that these artist, writers and musicians have greatly influenced the world which we live in and being a Univeristy Graduate in English and Music I found it extremley moving to stand in front of Chopin's, Dumas' and Rossini's final resting places. And the next time I go to Paris this summer I am going to visit other cemetaries to see other compsosers such as Debussy and Ravel. I was never so speechless then when I was standing infront of Berlioz's grave. The whole experience will stay with me forever.

The fact that it was snowing made the cemetery even more beautiful, lots of amazing tombs and very cute cats running around. Definitely worth a look, and I would agree that the map is essential. The Mur des Federes was hard to find but definitely worth it and its peaceful, serene atmosphere simply put to shame all the ghastly Holocaust memorials which overshadow it.
