Parisian Necropolis: Cimetere

This walk was going to the famous cemetery of Paris, I was kinda scared to go because I am not a fan of walking through any kind of cemetery but I did enjoy this because it was really beautiful. Some of the cemeteries dated back to 1700 and some were from 2001. The range never ended and we tried to see what the oldest and newest dates were that we could find. There was a sculpture done by Paul-Albert that was really pretty. It took the artist 10 years to complete and it was huge and remarkable. It represented the pass to the other side that men women and children go through.

Then we saw the very large tomb of the infamous lovers Heloise and Abelard. It was big and beautiful. They were two lovers that had many years between them so were seen as very disgraceful. But they still stayed together and were ultimately buried together.

Jim Morrison's grave.

We then made our way to Jim Morrisons grave, it was of course modest and in a tiny place but that didn't stop tons of people trying to see the grave. One lady stood on another persons head stone to get a good picture. We then made our way to Kardec, It was covered with flowers everywhere and their were people paying their respects. He is considered to be the founder of spiritualism. After going through many other monumental graves we came across Oscar Wildes grave and gave a kiss to his tomb to pay our respects.


The wild red lips for Wilde.

Chopin's grave.

We then walked through the cemetary and saw other famous graves along with monumnets dedicated to the holocaust and other events where many people have been lost. Every grave site was different and some we no longer in tact but still all those people were once someones Brother, Mother, Father, Sister and so on. So in the end I am very happy that I went through and saw all them.
