There are not many cities in the world where a visit to the cemetery is on the "must do" list.Paris has such a cemetery. The Père Lachaise Cemetery is something you should not miss if you love history. It is absolutely huge and trust me when I say, you need the map. Buy it as soon as you arrive.
Even with the map we had a really hard time finding this grave.Modigliani is one of the painters I love the most. I really, really wanted to pay my respects. I was so mad at myself for not bringing flowers.
And then I noticed someone brought something more appropriate.Next time I will be prepared.
Such lovely memories of a peaceful day. I was on a quest for Edith Piaf. I love Chopin as well, and found this a most fascinating and reverent endroit in Paris. Some days one appreciates the quiet in the midst of all that Paris is. Thanks for this glimpse and memory jog.
