I recently returned from a few days in Paris. While walking around in the Montmarte area, I discovered this cemetery. While not as famous as the one with Jim Morrison's grave, it was fascinating just the same.
There were zillions of grave, crypts, etc., going back centuries. Here's a sampling.
If you look closely at the pic above, you may notice an almost holographic presentation of the head.
Below is the grave site of Ampere, who was important in the discovery of electricity.
And the graves of a couple famous composters, Offenbach and Hector Berlioz.
This one surprised me, since I had never heard of Dalida. Obviously she was important to the French, since it is quite the grave site and well maintained. Turns out she was a very popular singer in the 50's, 60's and 70's, selling millions of records.
Missed Francoise Truffaut's grave, and I suspect many the graves of many other famous people. Click on the link at the top of this post for more info.
