Have any of you globe-trotting FReepers ever visited Père Lachaise?

Still not as creepy and scary as Obama winning a 2nd term.

‘Still not as creepy and scary as Obama winning a 2nd term.’
You’re right,FRiend.
Looks like the creation of a Japanese Anime illustrator..

More desirable than having my car break down on Gratiot and 6 mile in Detroit coming home from a Red Wings hockey game........
All kidding aside, I wouldn't walk thru that place in the dark for anything......
Very interesting, and no, I’ve never been there, and don’t want to go there. That would be a good place for a horror movie, and I’m too much of a wuss to watch them.

I do visit Paris, as my brother lives there, but have not been to any Paris cemetery.
It does not look as creepy as cemeteries in the Philippines.
The very large cemetery, probably 300 years old, in my town has turned up graves, as well as above ground crypts, or concrete vaults that are bashed open. Many of them are infant size.
I presume that lack of funding is a big problem.
It is a bit difficult to get money from the dead.
Probably not. But the chances of getting beheaded or disemboweled aren’t quite as high the farther east and
south one travels...
One of the more popular graves was some famous romantic couple, like the inspiration for Romeo/Juliet or something.
You might want to visit Pere Lachaise. They say it is well worth the time.
It has some spectacular sculpture and art.
‘Very interesting, and no, Ive never been there, and dont want to go there. That would be a good place for a horror movie, and Im too much of a wuss to watch them.’
I’ve had the same thought. I wonder if they’ve ever made a movie there?
“All kidding aside, I wouldn’t walk thru that place in the dark for anything......”
Nor would I.
I would imagine it could get very frightening even in the day light...easy to get lost.
I’ve read that they threatened to remove Morrison due to the crowds and disturbance.
He’s still there, but with a fence to keep the crowds back.
I think the next most visited grave is Chopin.
A photographer’s dream.
Google Heloise and Abelard
