    An amazing place. I found the grave of the Paris Communards very moving.

    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.

    Thank you for taking the time to make and post this tour, since I and many other folks will never be able to visit this uniquely beautiful landmark in person. It's amazing to see the different designs and architecture over the decades in such a thoughtfully laid out location.

    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...

    You know how noisy and vibrant Paris is...and sometimes it could be a bit much..and then I discovered Pierre Lachaise..I really enjoyed the stroll ..it was peaceful, lovely settings amongst those that were gone. I needed being here to appreciate the vibrancy that is pure PARIS!

    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 !

    Beautifully shot video. Very 'tranquilizing' in the best sense of the term. But what, no Chopin? I dearly hope to visit this place some day. Also the Passy (?) cemetery where Debussy and Faure are buried. thanks for the video trip.

    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.

  • @tiamia1134

    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.

    I was at Pere lachaise only 3 days ago and Oscar Wilde's tomb was more graffitied than Jim Morrisons with kisses and not only with the glass casing but also railings to. Such a peaceful and amazing place to visit!! I can't wait to go back!! Great video!!!

    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!

    Yes, I walked around it some years ago, so, so quiet, just a little amount of birds song, and yet outside of its walls, the noise of vibrant Paris is a orchestra of sound, but inside, so quiet.

    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.

    I prefer to exclude myself from my videos as much as possible.

Paris is a lot more interesting than I am; I just happen to live in the city.

    I can't believe they wiped Oscar Wilde's grave. The kisses all over it showed how loved he was. It was a quirky characteristic to add to an already beautiful monument and one of my favourite things in Pere Lachaise. Plus, I'm sure he would've loved it.
