Père Lachaise Cemetery

Yesterday after the market I went to the Père Lachaise Cemetery with a group of people from my hostel. We decided to walk there because it wasn't terribly far, and saw some fun sites....




...and got a bit lost (oops). But ended up at the cemetery eventually. It's one of the most famous cemeteries in the world, and it is huge - over 100 acres - and very very beautiful.




We started out by going to the grave of Jim Morrison....




Followed by - left to right - Oscar Wilde (the marks you see are lipstick kisses), Sarah Bernhardt, and Chopin....




....as well as a few others. It was an incredibly interesting experience and a very beautiful place.


All in all it was a very nice day. And we ended out excursion with the tastiest pastries any of us had ever had....
