    I visited Pere Lachaise cemetary myself back in 2007 and it was one of the most enchanting and magical and beautiful experiences of my entire life,I really,really appreciate you making and uploading this video,thanks very much,and I urge anybody to visit this place at least once in their lifetime.

    Than you for the well-done video. I have visited Pere Lachaise two times. The cemetery is remarkable for many reasons ... not just for the tombs of famous persons interred there, but also for the art manifest in the many tombs, memorials, and the columbarium.

    I feel fortunate to have been to Pere Lachaise two wonderful times. It is very difficult to find your way around and I was miserably lost both times. I love the place as I love the city.

    Thank you so much! My husband and I visited in 2018 and now that we are isolated due to COVID, this was a wonderful way to re-experience a wonderful memory. Instantly transported from Canada to France. I appreciated your minimal approach to the video as it allowed me my own experience. Bravo and Thank you again!

    This video is so beautiful...The cemetery is breathtaking, the statues are so majestic and ornate!!! I have never seen such a beautiful cemetery. I know in my lifetime I will never get to visit Paris, so this tour was like a dream for me. I would love to go just to visit Jim Morrison's grave. Thank you for the beautiful tour...

    I totaly agree !! Few years ago I lived near Père Lachaise and it was one of my favorite places to hang out ! Beautiful, peaceful, mysterious (it's easy to meet some enthusiast who told you the history of all the residents) and like a museum cause many of graves are very elaborated. Don't forget that it is also a very woody area in the town !

    Wonderful video! My daughter and I were all over here on October 9th. There was a very atmospheric gray drizzle and it began to pour the moment she put our rose plant on Morrison's grave (I had told her, "I hope it rains the day we visit Morrison's grave at Pere Lachaise" - and it did right at THAT moment. We were singing "People are Strange" after that! I love your "Undead" ... those crows cawing brought back a lot of memories of Pere Lachaise and Montmartre cemetaries - I have a Bombay cat just like the one shown in your video. I gathered several dozen chestnuts at both cemeteries and keep them in a bowl under a painting of a Montmartre cafe in my dining room. I am American but half French and a complete Francophile. What a beautiful place Pere Lachaise is, I asked a guard if an American could be buried there and he said as long as I live/die within Paris city limits! Guess when I start to croak, I need to book a ticket asap! :-)

    • @tiamia7139
      @tiamia7139 10 років тому +3

      That place is so hauntingly beautiful. Morrison visited Pere Lachaise a short time before his death and told his friend that he wanted to be buried there. I was shocked though that no monument of Morrison as poet, which is how he wished to be immortalized, is erected in his memory. Why didn't Elektra and/or the remaining Doors do that as he made millions for them...he was certainly the main draw. I find his grave very sad and neglected. He was a very gifted poet and iconic artist. Will definitely visit Pere Lachaise again next time I'm in Paris.

    Pere Lachaise is simply a beautiful place - not sad or morbid at all, but lovely and peaceful. I always enjoy walking thru it and am looking forward to doing so in a couple of months!
    Merci beaucoup!

    Monsieur Manic, I really enjoyed this video, and I often check back to see if there are new additions. Perhaps you might post something about how you came to live in Paris. I'm sure many of your viewers would enjoy that. Your captions "sound" like you're an American, and you probably have an interesting story about how you are blessed with living in La Ville de Lumiere.

      It's huge and it's easy to spend the better part of a day there. Peaceful and interesting. Hilly with cobblestones so it can be hard on the feet after a few hours. I shot this video myself; it was a very typical day in Paris, with the standard light overcast that is so common in the city.

    This is one of the few (the only?) places in Paris where I got a blister from walking. The cobblestones are very uneven and your feet are constantly sliding around. If your shoes and socks slide around as well, you can get blisters from the friction. The only other place I've been that has cobblestones this bad is Versailles. I got a blister at Pere Lachaise because I was wearing cheap socks that were a bit too slippery inside the shoe.

    Some people find the grave sights scary and some romanticise the dead.
    Both are on the extreme side of the spectrum.
    Our souls will be free from the earthy shackles of dissatisfaction, sorrow and regrets only if we free it from materialism, vanity and pride.
    You do not become great in your death by the size of your gravestone or all the embellishments over or around it.
    It is only a sign that you were a slave to materialism in your life and were never freed from it. You took that attribute to your grave.
    The pomp that is built around the grave for passerby’s to see has little relevance to the one who is plunged into the darkness of the earth’s cold womb.
    Embellish the soul with love, forgiveness and generosity. Embellish it with spirituality and selfless services.
    So it may illuminate that and embellish that what will matter to you after you pass over to the next life.
