Beautiful mausoleums in France, thank you for showing, as I’ll never get there! Beautiful weather and music of the birds chirping, quiet and peaceful!🇺🇸🙋🏼♀️😇✝️
Cathal, great video and I enjoyed the beautiful Cemetery thank you so much for sharing. Hopefully you're able to find some Guinness up in France if not at least get some champagne. Along with the long French white bread.😊
I've seen some of these "front load" tombs in a Welsh cemetery. Nowhere near as ornate though! This was a fabulous, eye catching walkabout GV. Thank you for finding it. Take care, Deb of Oz XXX
0:40 I'd swear that gate was a Halloween decoration, it's so awesome. At first I thought that the leakage visible @ 11:20 was from someone's crypt, but it appears that the mausoleum (although it's new) was poorly built. You can see some sort of discoloration along the blocks @ 11:00 on the outside.
Fantastic video GV.. wow what a place with amazing graves . Thankfully the cat didn't get me 😂 but seeing you jump was worth it. Great video glad you made this video.
Hi GV the tree that looked dead is a species of Palm tree . What was the deep growl noise ...it sounded like a man's deep voice . The cemeteries here in France are kept beautiful no vandalism here . Thanks for your videos ..and of course your great respect. Lyn
Not sure what kind of plant that was but it looked (pardon the expression) not alive. Man with the headstones above ground it gives a real sense of how many people are entered there, I mean just wow. That cat would have freaked me out as well. Cats are sneaky by nature, I’ve got two. Ok GV thanks for this awesome tour. God bless you.
Such a beautiful cemetery, I bet you could spend hours and hours there. And I hope someone there cares for that sweet little cat. Thank you for taking us along GV 🙏🇦🇺❤xx Teresa
When I saw those 3 images of you from where you were looking into that highly reflective black mausoleum, I thought about that classic scene in a certain 1940s movie (the name escapes me) in which a person is inside a mirror "fun-house" and can't tell which image is real among all of the reflected images!
The number and variety of little items placed on some of the tombs, such as small framed pictures, etc. kind of reminds me of the knick-knacks someone might put on their mantel at home, or on a piece of furniture called a "what not" over here in the Southern U.S.
The thing I find so interesting about European cemeteries (and American ones too) is how they are all the same in one way…..yet totally separate and unique in their own way….
Hey G.V. that is a Gorgeous cemetery, alot of Architecture. It seems even in death people try to out do the other's in Crypts and Mausoleums...Just to be forgotten in time, except by people casually walking by. The niche near the end of the video with the picture of the young girl who passed recently, that really tore me up. Children die, before they really get to live...You Always wonder who or what they might've been. The lives they touched when they were alive. BTW, that was a pretty cat that gave you a jump scare, lol. God Bless You and Sue!!!
The French cemetery reminds me a bit of the big cemetery in Belgium: old photos, mausoleums with little altars and ceramic floral arrangements. Thank you for teaching your viewers about history and cultural practices in different countries! About that dead stump- it looks like a species of palm. It has the exact same shape and frond pattern as Phoenix palms, which I have in my yard, but I live in Panamá. So probably a different kind of palm tree.
Fairview Cemetery is at the top of Oakland Avenue in Council Bluffs Iowa. Many Indians & 300 Mormons are buried there . There are pictures of it online.
So quiet there and well maintained. I love how respectful you are while touring a cemetery and taking the time to share with us. Well done GV well done.
Really beautiful old stones and mausoleums in this one, and the church bells in the background… thanks so much for taking the time out to film this for us, GV.
06:24 It reads; "Here Lies MICHEL CANTIE Lance Corporal of the 166th Inf KILLED BY THE ENEMY AT MEULBEKE Belgium The 18th (Oct ober*) 1918 Aged 22 NO REGRETS" * Cannot make out but either 8th month Aug or 8= Octo+bre/ber I just can't make out ithe Month. My eyesight is almost gone. Having a few ops but meanwhile does anyone have an idea?
Thanks, GV for a really great adventure. What a beautiful cemetery cute little kitty cat and I wonder if that stone wall was part of an ancient Roman fort. Seeing how that cemetery is set on the high ground.🙏🏻🇺🇸👮🏻♂️
That plant looked like the trunk of a "Windmill Palm" a palm tree that is cold hardy, but it outgrows its surroundings, becoming intrusive. Its root structure is a ball and it could've been dug up and transplanted but they chose to top it. That's what it looks like to me. Many people plant them who like tropics and beaches. The leaves rattle.
It's so wonderful to see how well taken care of and how all the souvenirs and structures are honored and respected. It is lovely to see there has been no vandalism. I loved "that takes the biscuit!"..here in America we might say "that takes the cake!"...love it!❤ I can see how kitty would have startled you!
What a very different sort of Graveyard, from what we have here in England. Certainly a lot of income for local stone masons ! Another amazing place you have shown us - thank you. Take care 🙂
Ok I was thinking it was a palm tree with the fronds cut off but now that I look again I see the Yucca plants right behind that same crypt with the fronds still on it..even though I've had Yuccas my entire life in our yard I had forgot that the roots will grow up out of the ground thick like that, resembling a tree. That one has to be VERY old to be that large!
A relation to Morty maybe 😂 There's some lovely statues and photographs there, so many you could stay a week and still not see everything. Thank you for taking us on another fantastic walk xx
GV I love your vids but I do have to admit I was a little disappointed in your speed through this one 😢 you normally take much more time reading names and such, I noticed your last one I watched that was in the closed down cemetery that you were pretty speedy there as well, if you go so fast how in the world will any of them be able to speak on camera? 😊....I still love your and Sue's work though and I hope just a little constructive criticism won't upset you any ❤. One reason I wanted you to slow a little was because I was very intrigued in how many of these graves were very old and yet had many plaques and flowers all around and wondered if in France the families still come and memorialize those who have passed in their family tree even if they had passed a hundred or more years ago? I realize some of those were newly interred but many weren't and yet had flowers...also I noticed these ceramic flowers that were like four buds sitting on a brown log base that were recurring on many of the graves and when you did go past one a little closer up I seen the plaque said "Souvenir" , was there like a gift shop at this cemetery selling such things? And last question I swear lol, when you show the mausoleums with an altar inside, and sometimes a chair , are those for the family to go inside and visit with the deceased and maybe light candles and so forth? Thank you so much for what you do, I love your videos... I have thought about doing this here in the states but I'm afraid those videos would be rather boring as nearly all our cemeteries are just flat stones on the ground, there are some older cemeteries with better markets but absolutely nothing like you show us...I appreciate what you do and will continue to watch!! PS- I do hope you will one day return to that cemetery that had the potato famine mass grave and the child's poor section as the interred there were really chatty!!
@@American_couture if I go to slow people will still complain 😂 can't please everyone. Im not going to try and pronounce these French names so that's why I move around fast here. That chair in the mausoleum is called a kneeler for praying
@@GraveVisitationswell I understand your plight of satisfying everyone and the fact it can't be done 💯%. I also would have destroyed those French names so I understand that as well which means I'll be quiet now 😂😂. Wouldn't matter to me if you ran at full speed or creeped like molasses, I would still watch as I love your content so keep up the great work🎉
I hope you wandered around the medieval town, it's amazing (if you like castles and such). The French can seem rude, but they normally soften up nicely if you greet them with a cheery "Bonjour" and a big smile. The may not approve of you filming in cemeteries though because they are very touchy about their privacy. I was taking some photos of a very unusual house from across the road on one occasion and the owner came storming out and shouted at me for invading his privacy (I wasn't trying to look through windows or any such thing). Anyway he eventually grumpily allowed me to take one photo. It was such an amazing house, like a miniature chateau with high towers and turrets, balconies and pointed roof, really amazing...
I certainly did take a walk up to Castle its very beautiful. The thing about video or photography is its not a crime in a public place. People don't actually know what rights we have they just assume things etc.
Hi GV thanks for making the video while on your holiday we do appreciate you. When I saw the young man who was killed in WW1 it got me thinking of how many soldiers and civilians were killed and occupied all the cemetery's and grave yards what I found was very sad here is the information. x World War I Current estimates are that 10.5 million civilians and 15.4 million military personnel died in World War I World War II Estimates of the number of people who died in World War II range from 22.6-25.5 million military and 37.6-55.2 million civilian
My interpretation on the holding hands photo is child and father as it says Papa ( and looks like the word after means adore ) also one hand looks much younger ( with the fingers only )
Loved the cat. What was the low growling noise when you were stopped to look at the Tomey mausoleum? I played it over several times to see if it was perhaps a vehicle but the tone and resonance sounds like a voice. 15:45 to 15:50.
How do those narrow mausoleums work? The people are not buried in the walls but under the floor. How do they fit that many people in such a small space? Do they just lift up the stone floor and there is the coffins or do they have to dig thru dirt?
Beautiful cemetery. These monuments are totally awesome! Especially the mausoleum with the blue stain glass. I really liked the front gates with the bats, they made me think of Halloween 🎃 Great walking tour, thank you very much GV. Have a great day, and a great trip.😊
It's actually a yucca plant which you can see right behind the same crypt with the fronds still attached. Yuccas are plants that look like just the top part of a palm growing out of the ground. However, with A LOT of age the roots actually start growing up out of the ground and the plant also gets very stalky and so it starts to look like a dwarf palm tree. Yuccas are everywhere here in southern Virginia ...here's what Google says about their history with cemeteries: While not inherently symbolic of death, yucca plants are often associated with death or mourning due to their common presence in older cemeteries, where they were planted to represent eternity, motherhood, and sometimes ward off evil spirits, particularly when placed near headstones or along cemetery boundaries; this association stems from their hardiness and long lifespan, symbolizing enduring life even after death.
Many of these mausoleums don't seem to have any place in the walls or floor for coffins. Where are the coffins? For example, at 5:01 GV can you explain this?

A very lovely graveyard and a big one into the bargain. I've never seen a mausoleum in any of the grave yards in the north of Ireland, or maybe i just haven't been to any. Interesting explore GV .I thought putting pictures of the dead person was only a recent thing and not as early as some of these.
A cemetery in France. Make me wonder if there was any fighting going on in there. Ya gotta watch them cats. They don't want you scaring their meals away.
Here's the info I found for you: Bats were used during the Romantic period from 1820-1850. In the funerary art of French cemeteries., bat wings are sometimes paired with a skull or an hourglass. Bats symbolize death and the night before the flight to heaven, but may also have been used to protect the tombs from bad luck. Later on bats became associated with evil and demons and therefore their presence seems odd to today's visitors of these cemeteries....hope that helps😊 😊😊
It's free to hit the thumbs up 👆👍
Sure it is 😂❤
Thanks for all the cemetery/graveyard tours! You and Sue do great work! Love your accents! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

The plant was a palm without its fronds. It’s probably a dead palm. They don’t like cold winters.

I've seen them on mausoleums in Paris also
Here's the info I found for you: Bats were used during the Romantic period from 1820-1850. In the funerary art of French cemeteries., bat wings are sometimes paired with a skull or an hourglass. Bats symbolize death and the night before the flight to heaven, but may also have been used to protect the tombs from bad luck. Later on bats became associated with evil and demons and therefore their presence seems odd to today's visitors of these cemeteries....hope that helps😊 😊😊
