Pere Lachaise Cemetery

A cold, wintry day and a visit to Pere Lachaise Cemetry and later on the Rodin Museum. The cemetery was quite eery with the grey, windy weather, autumn leaves whipping about, and crows hopping from crypt to crypt - calling to each other.

For those that don't know, the cemetery is the final resting place of a range of (in)famous people - Marcel Proust, Edith Piaf, Jim Morrison (to name a few). The large deco monument above is Oscar Wilde's grave - the spots on it are lipstick kisses, left by visitors.

The website - Pere Lachaise

We had to flee though because of the weather - and seek the refuge of a warm cafe with a bottle of Vins Pay D'Oc :)


Note to winter travellers - don't forget the umbrella!
