I was there last month, September 2022, and saw Jim Morrison's grave and a few others famous people. I love the cemetery. I could walk around for hours looking at the tomb stones. Well worth a visit if you go to Paris.

[@multifandomedits2024]

Is it free to enter?

I was there the same time you were and I could not agree more with what you said.

Nice! When ppl should be dying to go to heaven; they are dying to go to Pere Lachaise instead! Very well done, great info and good narration. This is some power architecture.

[@robertabrams1493]

I've been to Pere Lachaise many times and have watched a few KZbin tours. Your virtual tour was, by far, hands down, the best tour of this wonderful Paris treasure. It was so well-paced and so informative. It makes me want to revisit the cemetery on my next trip to Paris.

[@annainaspen]

Great tour of Père Lachaise. Père Lachaise has so many fascinating tombs. There is one rather recent grave from November 2015 that makes me tear up when I stop at it. It's Suzon Garrigues. She was 21 years old on 13 November 2015. She was inside the Bataclan.

[@alexandrucatalinciorap8977]

Came here for this comment. I was last week in there and came upon that grave by accident but it did impressed me and that was the one that simply touched me the most. I went especially for Morrison s grave and was at George Enescu- but Garrigues made me feel so sad.

[@roseannecohen]

The marble bust was there when I took a picture of Jim Morrison's grave in 1985. It's a massive cemetery. I enjoyed your tour.

[@juliej9999]

Great tour Margaret, really enjoyed watching.

[@margaretstockton-davies3828]

Thank you, Julie!

In Paris stands a sacred ground, Where time and fame have intertwined, Père Lachaise, where stories abound, Celebrities of varied kind. Amongst the shadows and the stone, Lie legends of the arts and lore, A resting place for souls well-known, Whose echoes linger evermore. Here rests a poet with quill in hand, Verses etched upon their soul, Their words still drifting through the land, In Père Lachaise's embrace they're whole. Musicians too have found their peace, Composers whose melodies still soar, Their harmonies will never cease, In the quiet of this hallowed floor. Actors and actresses of the stage, Whose presence graced both screen and scene, They left their mark on history's page, In this haven where their spirits convene. Politicians, thinkers, side by side, Ideas and speeches left behind, In this cemetery, they reside, A testament to humankind. Père Lachaise, where memories thrive, In monuments that touch the sky, Visitors from all walks arrive, To pay respects as time goes by. So as we stroll these storied lanes, Amongst the mausoleums grand, We feel the weight of history's reins, In Père Lachaise, a timeless land.

And I always thought a cemetery was like a hotel we never check out of. But apparently you can in this cemetery 😏

Holy cow, what a beautiful and detailed video and what a sweet voice ❤🙏 thanks for sharing

I went there in 2008 to see Jim.

[@jonnarobinson7541]

This is a wonderful tour of the cemetery. I lived in Paris in 2014. I highly recommend that you consider doing a guided tour of the cemetery rather than trying to do it with a map. The cemetery is huge. And as in the video, your guide can give you many more facts. Very well done, and I loved your voice.😊

[@leary210275]

My favourite place Love this x

[@deboramccallum3987]

I could have spent three days there, its breathtaking..my favorites were the large monument with people walking into the tomb (sign of imminent death?) And one with a mantle inside for a young child near the exit. You must go.

[@bxr53]

Very well done!

[@annieroche22]

Really enjoyed this. Youve a very soothing voice. Thank you.

[@unknownpassion8914]

As a literature student i felt bad for wilde. If he had the chance of living to old age,he may have produced beautiful works❤

[@ahoj7720]

If you plan a visit, ask for a leaflet at the entrance, which shows the locations of the graves of famous people buried there.

[@MarkGrago]

Fantastic video. I was hoping to see the grave of Marcel Proust.

[@theoisaac9948]

💯💯💯

[@rodneyridgeway2220]

that's why its open to your broadcast

[@adalbertomodesusa]

Alan Kardec would be an interesting grave...But, seriously, one of the nicest videos about Pere Lachaise!

[@margaretstockton-davies3828]

Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[@joannakarlsson3423]

Modigliani is my favorite stop.

[@clivejohnson9515]

Margaret, you could read from the phone book and make it sound interesting!!👍❤

[@margaretstockton-davies3828]

Thank you so much, Clive! :)

[@magdalenarodriguezleon9953]

Muy interesante el documental pero le hizo falta titulos en español para los que no ablamos inglés 😢

[@megaskir]

Radusic Aleksandar and Mika, probably mother and son. Who were they? Very interesting tour through graveyard, thanks for the video.

[@ninaedison3008]

I would love to go there one day but if Jim's grave is blocked off to the public....why bother? 😏

[@alexandrucatalinciorap8977]

It s not blocked. You can see it, you cannot touch it.

[@pleun315]

You can touch it...most people climb over it like i did too

[@Dogsrcute823]

There used to be hand painted signs and graffiti with directions to his grave in the late 80’s. They seem to all be gone. Jim ===> this way

Quite interesting, a typical vault with the steel gate showing a symbolic bat on top,. Certainly there's an interesting story behind it!@@FreeToursbyFootLondon

Jim Morrison was born in Paris?

Born in Florida but died in Paris :)

look now who is who in the shit

[@FireWallthefts]

Betty Davis grave is in France Jim Morrison grave is in France.

[@timotheelegrincheux2204]

You really ought to make an effort to pronounce the name of this cemetery. It's not difficult for a speaker of English to say "pear la shez." Great tour nonetheless.

[@margaretstockton-davies3828]

Ah, well, I did my best!

[@annieroche22]

Ah get over yourself.
