It was pretty, peacful, and sweet, it was a perfect place for my husband and I to go to for our honey moon. And May is the perfect time to go there too.
A great chance for reminiscence of great personalities of music, art, film, theatre and literature while visiting their final resting places. How courageous and determined they had to be creating against all odds, fighting closed minds, rigid and religious beliefs. One feels grateful for their brave and tireless work in creating their masterpieces.

My Holiday In France @ Cimetière du Père-Lachaise
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/28/06
Hey i've been there. Its was fantastic and was memorable experience for me and my friends. Its something difference i've ever see before. A lot of thing such as its background and history at Cimetiere du Pere-Lachaise, paris, france. With the little guidance by them i indeed learn alot of stuff there! Thanks france. It was indeed my pleasure to introduce to all my friends to visit france! bonjour!
I LOVE it there, 28 acre cemetary with thousands of famous people who cannot talk back to you or refute the lastest movie review. I always bring wine to Jim and pour it over his grave. He is thirsty after being there so long. Tis is one of my FAV places in Paris!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of the best...

Other than the gloomy and chilly weather in mid November, this cemetary took half a day to explore. It was amazing the number of people who found themselves using this cemetary as a final resting place. Locating those people, though, definately requires a map! Due to the light situation during my visit, I was able to capture quite a few wonderful ...
My wife was pretty hyped to visit the cemetary. It was interesting to see the huge grave sites and it certainly was more interesting than cemetaries that you see in Minnesota, but it's certainly not on my list of things to see if you only have a week in Paris.
For you Doors fans, Morrison's grave was a bit of a disappointment. It was ...

A Lot of History Here
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/02/06
First thought, wear good walking shoes. There are a lot of levels here.
When I was there, the Morrison Grave was so badly defaced. I don't understand why people feel a need to ruin things that don't belong to them. Jim Morrison was from my generation, so you can only imagine my confusion when I got to the grave, and found a bunch of ...
When I came back from my trip to Paris, my parents could not understand why I kept going on and on about the cemetaries that I saw in Paris and the people buried there. I tried in vain to explain that these artist, writers and musicians have greatly influenced the world which we live in and being a Univeristy Graduate in English and Music I found ...

Well worth the trek

The fact that it was snowing made the cemetery even more beautiful, lots of amazing tombs and very cute cats running around. Definitely worth a look, and I would agree that the map is essential. The Mur des Federes was hard to find but definitely worth it and its peaceful, serene atmosphere simply put to shame all the ghastly Holocaust memorials which overshadow it.
