Cimetiere du Pere-Lachaise

So one day, perhaps June 9, we all went out to the Cimetiere du Pere-Lachaise, one of Paris' large and famous cemeteries. I think this may have had something to do with the Vinci Municipal Code or somesuch; or maybe Rickie Stevie. Whatever.
Helpful map of the place, with players' names and locations














Of course, most normal personnes are entombed in little
vaults like so















Somehow, this poor discarded cemetery rose spoke to me...














Tomb of the unknown boy and his dog














But then we found the tomb of Oscar Wilde (with a small
crowd of on-lookers); and, in short, it was the best time I
have ever had in a cemetery, so far
















Gertrude Stein














The ever-popular Jim Morrison














Frederic Chopin


















Abelard and Heloise; well, a re-creation of
sorts



















Rossini...and many, many, many more
