The Door Was Left Open and I Couldn't Believe What I Saw

The Cemetery of Montmartre (French: Cimetière de Montmartre) is a cemetery in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, France, that dates to the early 19th century. Officially known as the Cimetière du Nord, it is the third largest necropolis in Paris, after the Père Lachaise Cemetery and the Montparnasse Cemetery.

The picture of Pascale Sindic waving goodbye, her little child, Ludivine in her arms and their dog, is very appropriate because her tombstone says that Pascale died at 36 years old in June 16, 2000 and Ludivine also died in June 16, 2000 as well as their dog Gege. Very sad!

[@artemisiak677]

I noticed that also and was wondering what happened to them. Tried to look it up but there's nothing but that they all died and are buried in France.

[@tracycombs1484]

I tried to look as well...maybe a car accident ?? So sad 😞

[@nadiabrook7871]

Wow!! I NEVER knew who invented the saxophone until I watched this video!! I love learning new things!!🎷🎶 That headstone with the question mark was ABSOLUTELY intriguing!! I too wonder about the meaning behind it!! ?🤔 Thanks for taking us with you on your many exciting adventures, GV (and Sue too, of course)!! XXXX 🤗👍❤💗

[@GraveVisitations]

Thanks nadia ❤️

[@dm607]

Hmmm, that one had me wondering too! Franck and Sebastien were not related (Sebs last name is Gazave), but died on the same day. It's left me with more questions, lol.

[@maatnofret1234]

Same! I also had no idea that the saxophone was invented that long ago.

[@redrooster1908]

Enjoyed the whimsical "?" at 07:00. One of our village cemeteries has a monument with a cross & flame on the side and inscription: "enough is enough". It's in the 1940s to 1950s years of burial section but no other clues. No one knows who, why, when, ??? Intriguing mystery!!

[@michaelbedinger4121]

These monuments are awesome. I have always been fascinated by family mausoleums, they have a certain kind of class that is hard for me to describe, especially the old-fashioned mausoleums. The first mausoleum you visited was particularly interesting. I noticed a stain glass star of David in the wall. Were they Jewish ✡️ ? There is really too much on your video for me to comment on, this is such an awesome cemetery. This is one of your best videos yet. Thank you very much GV, and Sue, this was fun to watch. You and your family are in my prayers 🙏 Take care. 😊

[@grandmakaren4680]

I'm so glad that you could take me along to see this beautiful cemetery.

[@dm607]

That was magnifique GV. Dalida had a lot of tragedy in her life, leading to her suicide. The moving head gave me the willies, lol. And I noticed the mother and child in the photo died on the same day. Thank you for an amazing walkabout. Deb of Oz XXX

[@janetslicer3637]

It is just incredible how unique each and every grave is Cathal. That one monument with the ugly face was just grotesque. The face was bad enough but it looked as though the brain was coming out of the head like a bunch of angry worms. I wonder what that really meant. Maybe she had lost her mind! Geezzz, that cemetery is phenomenal! Thanks so much for you and Sue bringing it to us. BTW, those are kneelers in the small masoleums for those that want to kneel and pray for their loved one. Not really a chair.

[@GraveVisitations]

Thanks for watching Janet 🙏❤️

[@AShroudOfTruth]

That lovely mother and her beautiful baby, date of death was same year and day. Based on the age of the baby (D.O.B and D.O.D.), less than one year old, it must not have been too long after that photo was taken of them. Must have been an accident. So, so very sad.

[@Pitcairn2]

Pleased to see the mention of Fernando Sor. He was born in Barcelona and was known as the 'Beethoven of the Guitar' in his day . He wrote a method for the guitar which is still taught to this day and elevated the instrument from being a 'Novelty' instrument to a serious one. After the Peninsular war (1807-1814 ) in Spain and Portugal , being on the 'wrong side of politics' he exiled himself to Paris where he composed and played his hundreds of compositions, tought and later regularly toured Europe . As he aged and his health started to fail he wrote to the King of Spain asking permission to be buried in Spain, but this was refused. All the great guitarists of recent decades , Segovia, Julian Bream, John Williams etc played his works, as do I and many amateurs. . Some of his guitar studies can be fiendishly difficult.

Those things you keep calling weird little chairs are " Prayer kneelers". The have them individually or attached to the backs of pews in churches usually.

I could have done with sitting on one I was so tired from the heat

[@rebeccakimmel2454]

The grave of Pascale and Ludivine @ 13:13 with photo of lady waving. Knowing both died same day makes the heart hurt. Guy Pitchal grave @ 15:33 that head appearing to move was creepy but now want to know how it was made. Never seen anything like it. Ghost hunters in the dark walked up on a moving head they would probably need a clean pair of drawers.😂 As you leave @ 15:57 help? Or help me? At Dalida grave after you say 1987 @ 17:37 I am right here? (Slow speed) Thank you for sharing your walk with us. Love & Light.❤️

[@elizabethgrogan8553]

I visited that cemetery in 2008. It is astonishing. I may be wrong, but did I hear you say Sax was an inventor of a violin? Andrea Armate invented the first violin in the 2500's. I played the violin since a very young age. Typical Irish musical family, with many instruments and 2 pianos.

The French cemeteries are certainly vey different from most in the USA.

[@artemisiak677]

Is there anyway that you could find out more about the grave with the question mark as they both died very young and on the same day. Also the lady with the baby and dog died on the same day. I tried to look it up but there's no information on what happened to them but I live in the US so maybe you have more information in France. It would be very interesting to know what happened to them. Very sad.
