FAMOUS GRAVE TOUR - Paris (Edith Piaf, Oscar Wilde, etc.)

[@robertinoyanzanny275]

I am more than convince that Arthur deserves an academy award for best short documentary. He puts these series of Hollywood Graveyard so zealously and so well told. The way he briefly tell us about every single deceased celebrity with a perfect synopsis of each individual beginning, work, controversies and method of death. I would like him to feature the nitch of my favorite movie mogul Dino Delaurentiis who is interned in Communale Cemeterio in Torre Annuciatta, Italy.

[@jeffnaslund]

I would be surprised if Hollywood hadn’t already noticed him. Talent gets noticed. As soon as somebody figures out a way to profit off of him, Arthur will remain on their radar.

[@bobbibuttons8730]

He is an incredibly talented young man who has really made this genre his own. No one can come close

Victor Hugo I was wondering where he was buried! I grew up just 4 houses away from were he wrote " Les Misérables ", in Guernsey, Channel Islands. He was in exile there and had big house in Hautville, or up town, with a view from his top floor that could see his beloved France on a clear day! His House is a museum and as he left it!

[@timthorman7029]

Thank you for visiting the classical composers. Their music is so important and too often overlooked. The movies wouldn't be the same without classical music.

I’ve been told the final resting place of Jim Morrison gets visited quite a bit rest in peace

[@hjusn]

@@nasirrasul345 Yes. They actually have to post a guard nearby to regulate the crowd and writings on his grave.

There is something inarguable, something irreducibly honest and right about Arthur Dark. We are all blessed to enjoy his exceptional creations. Thank you so much. Stay cool in the Valley.

[@JennaLeigh]

Absolutely perfectly stated!

[@venomousnate7263]

It’s funny, I was listening to the Doors on the way back from a road trip. Roadhouse Blues, People are Strange, and Riders on the Storm are my favorites.

[@cincyzoe]

People are Strange is one of my favorites too. James Morrison was a prolific writer who was taken from us 😳much too soon. I wish I could visit his grave and silently thank him for his beautiful and thought provoking words that he gifted to all of us. Maybe someday. ❤️

[@frozenfan538]

Claude Debussy, my all-time favorite composer. Thank you for showing his grave. I hope one day I get to visit him in person.

[@Woodysback]

I think this is thee best tour you have done yet. I have watched every one of your tours and enjoyed them all. This particular one was so interesting and very informative that it saddened me to see it end. Thank you Arthur, 👏🏻

[@guyincognito215]

Agreed. It may be that it's filled with historically significant intellectuals,and from wonderful, historical settings

[@debzimmerman633]

Chopin and Curie 2 of my favorite historical figures in one video. Thank you Arthur, the architecture is amazing!

[@malo1912]

Every time i visit Paris there is a “dead” day. Visiting Pere Lachaise and just walk around in silence, paying respect to some of my favorite artists and enjoying the beautiful monuments Pere Lachaise has to offer. Every visit is different and spectacular. Thank you Arthur for showing the world the beauty of Pere Lachaise.

[@robertmuir9904]

My wife and I have visited Paris several times and have spent many afternoons wandering the fascinating and beautiful Pere Lachaise Cemetery. We found the graves of the great actors Simone Signoret and Yves Montand close to the Columbarium. Their marriage and love story would have made a nice addition to your tour, btw. The great jazz violinist and collaborator with jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt, Stephane Grappelli is also buried there. Enjoyed the tour.

[@paulgilis6051]

Thank you for honoring those long forgotten that helped make our world more interesting and better.

[@lisabc]

This is my favorite Hollywood Graveyard video! I was fortunate enough to go on a school trip to Paris in 1989 and a few of us split off to ride The Metro to Pere Lachaise Cemetary to visit Jim Morrison's grave. We found his grave, and passed by Chopin's grave too. It was and remains the most fascinating cemetary I've ever visited. I could have spent days there, just walking around and viewing the ornate and beautiful monuments on most of the graves. It is my dream to go back and spend a few days walking through Pere Lachaise.

[@amandanies3174]

I hope you'll get that chance again. If you have family, take them with you. Maybe they might not share your desire to visit Pere Lachaise, but maybe they would be fascinated by some famous people they heard of, including Jim Morrison. What a trip that would be. There's another grave in Paris I want to visit. In Picpus Cemetery, where many victims of the Reign of Terror are laid to rest, is the grave of Gilbert du Motier, otherwise known as the Marquis de Lafayette, the hero of two worlds, who fought in the American Revolution. An American flag is always present over his grave.

[@lesbw356]

Thank you for the international history lesson. I certainly learned quite a lot without leaving my house. Thank you Arthur Dark

[@Rutabaga64]

As a fan of history, I was left almost speechless by the graves you visited. It gave me chills. The best video you've ever gifted us with. Thank you so much, Arthur.

[@brendaorourke2469]

The cemetery is gorgeous, tales of the past, the vintage tombstones, it is beautiful! You are awesome Arthur Dark💋❣⚘

[@patricklynch6771]

Ones I would have liked to have seen at Pere Lachaise: Colette (author of Gigi), Simone Signoret (Best Actress Oscar winner for Room at the Top), Eugene Delacoix (French painter), Jacques-Louis David (French painter), Heloise (11th century abbess, noted for her affair with Peter Abelard), Moliere (French playwright), Marcel Proust (French novelist - In Search of Lost Time), Gertrude Stein (American/French author), Alice B. Toklas; At Passy Cemetery - Gabriel Faure (French composer); I would have also liked to have seen a tour of Montparnasse Cemetery where Alfred Dreyfus is is laid to rest, but I understand time constraint only could do so much! Loved the video as always!

[@ilanarhian]

I‘m REALLY GLAD to see Oscar Wilde’s tomb looking fairly clean now, I guess the glass around it works. The first time I visited there in 1988 they hadn’t started that crap yet. Also I wish you had mentioned that Modigliani is buried with his partner Jeanne Hébuterne. She was a talented painter herself and it is tragic that she killed herself when he died.

[@RhettyforHistory]

I love the Gericault monument. What a beautiful cemetery though. I really enjoyed seeing the little mausoleums with the Gothic look and it looks like a great place wander and get lost in. Thank you for taking us on a tour.

[@RhettyforHistory]

@Brad James I have no fears in a cemetery and I enjoy wandering thru them and finding stories. That is what I mean by getting lost. Being enamored by the history, stories, architecture, photos and names.

[@BudTCat]

So ... I'm sitting here on a Sunday evening thinking, "Wouldn't it be great if another installment of Hollywood Graveyard was up and running." And there it is. Another enjoyable walk through the past. Many thanks, Arthur. Already looking forward to "seeing you on the next one."

[@philiplettley]

Les Miserables was written on British soil. Victor Hugo wrote it while in exile in Guernsey, as well as completing hunchback of notre dame, in 20 years in Guernsey, he wrote more than in any other 20 year period. Belgium and Jersey lay claim to Victor Hugo in exile, and name streets etc where he lived, but he only lived in those places for up to 6 months. He finally found a home in Guernsey, his first period living in Guernsey was 16 years, then moved back to France, then moved back to Guernsey for another 4 years, before moving back to France again. He had planned to move back to Guernsey and spend the rest of his time on the island but fell ill and died before that could happen. He had to obtain special permission to buy Hauteville House where he lived, as he wasn't a British subject, he left the house in his will to his son. His son finally obtained permission of the Duke of Normandy (the British monarch) to give Hauteville House to the city of Paris, to be opened as a museum, the House is open to the public April to September, with guided tours by students of the University of Paris, so you are able to see where he wrote les miserables. Guernsey and the other channel islands are the personal property of the British monarch in their role as Duke of Normandy. Another great video, can't wait for more

[@jeanpelletier206]

Who gives a toss man it was still written in French. And the book was finally finished in France.

[@ronaldsteele6151]

This video was beyond any history class I ever sat through. I always wondered when braille was invented and was good to learn that the braille system was named after it's inventor. Edith Piaf was also a great spot. All the inventor's, classical figures and writer's. The inclusion of the Eiffel Tower creator was over the top. Great video again.

[@IsabelSantosCunha1972]

Living in Europe i have visited my favorite city, Paris, 8 times. Every single time i went to Pére Lachaise. It is one of the most fascinating places on earth. Italian actor Marcello Mastroianni used to read his Sunday morning newspaper there as he consider it the most beautiful spot to be alone and at peace (irony apart)

[@stephenboster8925]

By far the most interesting, compelling, & enriching episode yet! This is University level knowledge, on several levels! This should be required viewing for anyone seeking to achieve any Master’s Degree.. Otherwise, they have no business considering themselves ‘educated’, or ‘fully aware of the richness of the world around them’! Bravo!

[@ACHistory]

Fantastic! You should (if you wanted) do one for London, or even just Westminster Abbey - it is packed with legendary historical and modern figures from Elizabeth I to Isaac Newton to Stephen Hawking.

[@timthorman7029]

He already did that one.

[@anoldfogeysfun]

@@timthorman7029 - To be fairer to Andrew's comment, Tim . . . Arthur plavced his narrative voice on to the 3-4 videos taken by the man who did a lot of his London, etc, camera work for his episodes. Mainly it was about authors and writers, musicians and songwriters, pop stars, film stars and many celebrity TV people. There might have been a few science people like Faraday, etc. But I think that Andrew was just speaking about so many more who also lie in Westminster and who were not shown at the time . . . this is just my own opinion by the way, nothing against what you said in your reply at all as in he did it. As a bit was done - but a lot more was also missed out on who is there so far . . .

[@ayakotami3318]

Don't forget Charles Darwin. Stephen Hawking was buried between Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin in the Scientist's Corner. Perhaps another video will eventually showcase them. 😁

I loved this episode. So fascinating and intriguing! Makes me think, "ah ha! So that's where we got the music, science, or works from." Like the blind writing system, Braille. I would've never thought it was named after someone, but it makes a lot of sense now. I'm really enjoying this Europe themed famous grave tours! I hope you can go to other parts of the world too sometime, Mr. Dark. After covid of course. Perhaps take a trip to Asia? I'm sure Asia is full of famous graves.
