Cimetière du Père-Lachaise
January 23rd, 2008
20th arr., 16 rue du Repos
You may find it exhausting to visit this gigantic cemetery filled with celebrities. To many tourists, Père-Lachaise has become a funerary museum for the arts. Yet once you’ve satisfied your curiosity by visiting Oscar Wilde’s tomb, you may find it interesting to know that from the top of the hill, a few feet away from the Federated Wall, the young Louis XIV watched the battle waged between Turenne and Condé.
