We had another excursion last week to a cemetry which I think is pretty weird. It just doesn't feel right to be coming to graves as tourists rather than paying your respects but it was interesting, we got a bit of history about Paris. It was one of the first non-denominational cemetries, anyone can be buried here although a 2m x 1m 'block' will cost you about $10 000/10 years. Not much more to tell, here are a few photos...
Dead Chopin
Memorial for those that died in the concentration camps
Oscar Wilde's grave, there are so many lipstick kisses on his tomb. He was gay girls!
Jim Morrison's grave, his dad hated him so much that he refused to pay for his body to be taken back to the states, so it rests in Paris.
Creepy tombs...
Quite pretty for a tomb.
