Cimetiere Du Pere Lachaise (Pere Lachaise Cemetery), Paris

Leave the first response March 3, 2008 / Posted in Travel

One may wonder what am I doing visiting a cemetery in one of the most romantic city in the world – Paris! Well, ladies and gents, this is the world’s most visited graveyard. There are about 800,000 people buried here and I was in a mission to find the graves of Chopin, Oscar Wilde and Jim Morrison. Did I finally see them all? Unfortunately I did not. I had such a limited time. Next time I will spend at least half a day to full day looking for the actual graveyard!
