Cimetière du Père-Lachaise, Paris

It is boring, creepy and ungainly, It has completely put me off being buried when I die, I hope I never set eyes on it again

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.

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 it extremley moving to stand in front of Chopin's, Dumas' and Rossini's final resting places. And the next time I go to Paris this summer I am going to visit other cemetaries to see other compsosers such as Debussy and Ravel. I was never so speechless then when I was standing infront of Berlioz's grave. The whole experience will stay with me forever.

I saw Paris even better than I imagined her.After seeing the exhibition of her splendor.The fact that France is the most beuatiful city in the world is not in doubt. I am looking forward to longer visit.

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 shoe-horned in amongst many others and wasn't near as impressive as some of the others. It's a good couple of hour side trip if you have several weeks in Paris.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We didn't allow enough time and didn't get the map and our bearings early enough - but go and its all free!

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 pictures of the stained glass within the jewish section, the flower laiden nook that is Jim Morrison's grave and some spectacular headstones. It is definately a place of great interest if not for the beauty then for the history that it holds. I would highly recommend anyone with a little time on there hands to visit this wonderful place while in Paris.
