Paris 1st November 2010, Toussaint
An appropriate day to visit one of the world's most famous cemetaries, Père Lachaise, home to an awful lot of famous and not so famous, French and other citizens, all dead. A beautiful autumn day, made the chrysanthemums, the traditional graveyard flowers, look even more brilliant . Lots of people visiting the graves of their families,which is what Père Lachaise seems to be all about: keeping the family name going even if it's only carved into a stone monument ...
I stayed on the eastern side of Paris, near Père Lachaise and spent the day in the area. Museums were closed and many shops as well, so I did a lot of walking and, as it was a nice day, sitting in little parks and outside cafes.
