Père Lachaise

While we felt one week was perhaps too long to be away from Georgie, we knew it wouldn’t be long enough for Paris. My little notebook was bursting with lists of places we wanted to visit but simply put, there was not enough time. Luckily whatever you choose to do in Paris is almost guaranteed to be perfection. We sacrificed a planned day at Versailles for a relaxed sunny Sunday soaking up Le Marais and a walk through Père Lachaise, a cemetery with over 70,000 tombs, the largest in the city of Paris. This is where you can find Jim Morrison, Maria Callas, Edith Piaf, Chopin, Oscar Wilde and hundreds of other famous names making Père Lachaise the greatest collection of dead talent in the world. I was there for Jim and this beautiful place where he is believed to be buried. Père Lachaise is capturing. A peaceful sea of tombs.
