LA FLÂNEUSE Of the 14 Paris cemeteries, Père-Lachaise is the largest, home to the humble and the great… and to its curator, Benoît Gallot, who actually lives there.
Had a wonderful time there, though it was only a few hours. I'll have to revisit. My favorite area was at the roundabout by the Tombe et Statue de Casimir Perier.
Thanks for this interesting, informative look at Père-Lachaise with great photos of things to look for on my next visit. I also was happy to learn more about its history.
Yes, I know that your husband Jean is buried there. Philippe attended the funeral and wanted to see you and express his sympathy but there were too many people. I unfortunately was unable to come. It is indeed a beautiful place. If you are free the next time you visit, let me know. I would love to see you again.

Glad ydu enjoyed it. We’ll have to take some stroll there one of these days!
My husband, Jean Lesieur, is buried there now…just up the way from Jim Morrison. Such a beautiful place, so green and peaceful.

I am sorry I missed him but that is so nice he came to the funeral. Tell him « thank you » for coming.
