Escape to myself

This is such a beautiful cemetery. Burial place of the rich and famous. There are so many graves and monuments and it’s so peaceful. Birds and trees and the sunshine today is wonderful … the place is full of strolling tourists. I think there are over a million burials … it’s still in use … if you have money and influence. Famous burials are; Jim Morrison (Doors), Edith Piaf, Isadora Duncan, Oscar Wilde, Collette, painters Gericault and Seurat , composer Bizet and many more. It serves as a national cemetery with memorials to the resistance, soldiers and much more. I found Jim and Oscar and Gertrude Stein and Michel Legrande but this place is huge and without a guide it’s difficult to find people. The monuments are fabulous in so many different styles. The tombs often provide just enough space for relatives to kneel prayer. Many have stained glass panels. Some me are mini churches! A beautiful place to spend a sunny afternoon.
