American actress Olivia de Havilland ("Gone With the Wind") died in 2020 at the age of 104 and is interred there in Pere Lachaise Cemetery as well.
It is a bittersweet feeling to know that Jim Morrison's funeral service lasted only 8 minutes and that no one stayed around to witness his full burial. However, the fact that his grave has become one of the most visited brings me comfort that his fans haven't left him.
I went and visited Jim in 1995 . A long time ago . I was 21 years old . There was no fence back then and there was a policeman keeping guard at his grave . The maps all had his name scratched off all over the cemetery but it wasn't hard to find . Beautiful cemetery and I hope to go back one day .
I went around that time too.. I think it was 1993. We had to queue up to see the J.M. grave and there were a couple of security guards (they could have been police...). To be honest, I was just surprised to see all the fuss around a grave, so I'm not sure. I remember tea lights and graffiti, and then we were moved on. Definitely need a full day to see it all. It was a great part of my trip to Paris though.
There was no line just walked right up to the grave . Hung out took pictures . There was probably about 10 others visiting at the time . @@Hannahxx1971
Visited there in 98, and the world was a different place then.😊
@@CJAYTODD completely!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I've lived right across the cemetery for a few years (born & bred parisian).
Always a special place for a walk no matter the weather. Also a cat paradise!
I agree! My last visit to the cemetery, I had a cat follow me on my walk.
That cemetery has one of two criteria to be buried there: either have been born in Paris or died in Paris.
I always love the cemetary walks. The art. The architecture. The peace.
OMG I''VE ALWAYS WANTED TO VISIT JIM MORRISONS GRAVE! dont understand why people would direspect anyones tombstone by scratching words into it. Thank you for taking us there.
Even after 52 years Jim Morrison is still a polarizing figure in death. I am a huge doors fan and visiting his grave is on my bucket list. Awesome video
Been there three times. Last time 2011 we were at Jims grave when Robby and Ray came.
This is probably the closest that i will ever get to see Jim's grave thanks for the video.
I'm pleasantly surprised to see how many people are still coming to see Jim's finale resting spot. He made a huge ripple in the waters of life that continues to touch generation after generation. It's to bad his time on earth was so finite. Thank you for the experience as always Grimm Life!
Yea they have always been my favorite band of all time, its like them and the Beatles and its impossible for me to choose. The Doors were so mysterious and Jim knew EXACTLY what he was doing and he had it all planned and did it his way. Hes almost like a Greek god at this point to me, it was everything that rock n roll is supposed to be
Beautiful cemetery, just WOW.
What a beautiful cemetery, looks gothic (my favorite). I love all of the crypts and that street that is the most photographed. So many gorgeous graves and crypts, I may watch this again and again! Thank you!
Bit of a latecomer to the Grimmlifecollective but have been impressed by the fact that they don't rest on their laurels and visit locations that their contemporaries frankly do not visit. Too many just go over the same old film locations and the same theme parks in the States....and we all know who they are right! But with the Grimms its the dog suicide bridge near Glasgow one week then its the locations to Nosferatu or Suspiria in Germany the following weeks. They are absolutely ahead of the pack in originality and are two likeable ,articulate people who are passionate and respectful about movies , real life crime and music. Really impressed by the research that must go into the videos and in the style it's being presented. Always good to catch up after a rubbish day at work so thanks for your superb body of work!!
visited pere lachaise in 2006, and it was a beautiful, if haunting place. i was really impressed with how much edith piaff clearly means to the people of france, as the tomb was immaculately well preserved, with flowers and trinkets adorning it with love.
I went from Australia to visit Jim in 1991 when I was 23. It was -10° but we ventured out on a mission! There were no other people there and no fence back then. My friend, Caroline, and I sat there and drank whiskey and listened to Doors on tape, pouring some into his grave. The cemetery is absolutely massive - you could spend a day there - and full of famous people. Napoleon had the cemetery built and actually had a lot of the famous people moved there from other cemeteries as he wanted the best cemetery in Europe. The artwork of the graves and the architecture of the mausoleums is mind blowing!
Awesome video, Awesome place. I went December 5th 1996 as I went to Paris, solo as a warm up trip to see how I could handle flying, as I was going to the USA in 1997. Bear in mind this was before smartphones existed. So I only had a guide book and the noticeboards with the map on them to guide me. The first impression when walking through the main gate is how vast the place is. I just thought how am I finding Jim Morrison in here. The feeling in the force was telling me to go right. So I followed the path, the graffitti, spotted the guard, telegraph pole, the group of people that's it! So I didn't go over I just wandered around for most of the day. Went back to the same spot later, but came from a different direction. Guard must have been on a break. So I'm in the middle of the graves, couldn't find him. Then I just happened to look down. He was right in front of me. It wasn't barricaded off then. So I had a few minutes on my own there. So I left an incense cone and a poem on the stone, it got cleared hours later as that was the rule. A few others turned up, I left, very cool place to visit very peaceful.
It's hauntingly beautiful
So I did a bit of research on some of the tombs you visited

Very little is known him, but his grave depicts his wife mourning his loss
Love this cemetery. Iconic. So many respected and talented people buried there. Morrison, Oscar and Maria Callas, the Opera singer was and then her ashes scattered at sea. Chopin too but his heart was removed and buried where he was born, I believe. Fantastic video!!!! Maybe I'm weird but I love visiting cemeteries and learning of their histories. Happy Halloween to my favorite couple🕷🎃🖤🖤
What an amazingly beautiful cemetery. You both never disappoint! Much respect to the both of you!
Robbie Ross died in 1918 aged 49 and in 1950, on the 50th anniversary of Oscar's death, an urn containing Robbie's ashes was placed inside the Wilde tomb; the two friends together for eternity.
That is one of the most beautiful cemeteries I’ve ever seen. I think Forest Lawn is so beautiful too 🪦❤
That's another kneeling bench 😊 I feel like I was born in the wrong era. I was born in 71 but I wish I grew up in the late 50's and 60s. The music was amazing and the atmosphere of love and peace. I'd would have loved to go to Woodstock. My brothers and sisters went and used to tell me how it was, lol my mom would get so mad because they went in great detail, lol. Thank you for sharing Jim Morris. He was my favorite music in the 80s and now.
I've never seen a video about this cemetery, well-documented as it is, filmed as beautifully and respectfully as this one. Thank you! I enjoyed every second of it.
(i'm french from Normandy) My mother and i went to Père Lachaise couples a days before you, we can see in the video the candle that we placed on Edith Piaf's grave. For me it's the most beautiful cemetery i have ever seen. I hope you enjoy your trip in France 😊 (hope my english is good ahah)
Glad you two made it to Père Lachaise, it's a Mystical and beautiful cemetery full history. We loved it when we explored. BTW those chairs in the vaults are called kneelers to pray. Great video grims 👍❤️
I've seen some of the most beautiful, interesting art in cemeteries.
You Guys are so cool,I just love your videos,Happy Xmass & New Year from everyone in The Irish Republic Ireland 🇮🇪 🎉🎅
Every time I go to paris since I was a child, I try to go to Père-Lachaise and I think I still haven't seen it all 😅
What a surreal cemetery. I can’t even imagine how much more beautiful it is in person. Thank you for sharing.
I visited Jim’s grave in 2006. Pere Lachaise is an amazing cemetery with so many famous historical figures and artists. Excited to watch this one! Happy Halloween 🎃 🖤 💚
Makes me sad to see that people have defaced the area by Jim Morrison's grave .I love these cemetery explores in Europe
Marry supernatural Christmas and happy supernatural new years 🎉🎉🎉 Michael and Jessica 🎉🎉🎉
I'm going in June 2024!! I'm so excited ❤!
How wonderful to get this video. Very special share!
☮️☮️☮️ RESIDENTS OF PERE LACHAISE ☮️☮️☮️. 🌹🌹🌹
Hi guys looking forward to this one the great jim morrison hope your both keeping well thanks for sharing 👍 😊
I've been too Jim Morrison grave 4 times. Great job Michael and Jessica happy Halloween
I've been looking forward to this one since you first got to Europe. I've never been there but I've seen enough documentaries and videos on it that I feel like I know the cemetery like the back of my hand. I've only been to Europe twice in the 1980s, Sicily where my step-mom's parents are from.
This place is absolutely beautiful!! I know people think I’m crazy but I find most cemeteries to be so peaceful. I live close to Sleepy Hollow and visit there when I can (another beautiful cemetery). Thanks to you and Jessica for another great video. Happy Holidays!😊
We visited the Catacombs of Paris but never stopped by the cemetery. Excellent video, I appreciate the attention and respect you give to these amazing works of art. Your videos never fail to amaze me. Thank you.
Wow....just wow! Between this cemetery and Highgate, very beautiful!! I felt the same when I visited St. Louis #1 (and #3) in New Orleans, just on a smaller scale.
First off, I looove the video🙌🏻. Now, I may be the odd man out here, but I couldn’t ever get myself to stick gum all over the place or engrave writing all over the walls in a cemetery..
What an incredible cemetery! The details on everything are beautiful and grand. I would honestly buy a book if it had pictures of all the statuary there.
I’m thrilled that you actually filmed my great great great grandfather’s tomb @ 23:44 Luigi Cherubini (the Goddess of Music is crowning him with a wreath on his head)! My relative was Napoleon’s court composer who wrote many operas and was best friends with Beethoven! Awesome video! 🤘😉
Another beautiful place. Thanks for showing Chopin’s grave. The great Polish composer and pianist.
Watch out, @offlcialGrimmlifecollective is an impersonator.
I was there with a friend back in 1996 or 1997. We had a drink at Jim's grave. There was no fence back then.
Of cource everyone likes this cemetery. Greek architecture style all over the place. Marvelous. And the Jim Morrison tombstone in greek language, suits perfectly.
Fascinating vlog. The artwork of cemetery stones and mausoleum’s in these places is deeply moving. Thanks for the tour.
It's wonderful that you visit Pere Lachaise, the most famous cemetery in Paris, with the graves of Jim Morrison and my compatriot Fryderyk Chopin! Greetings from Poland !
We also invite you to Poland, to Krakow, Warsaw and Wrocław, where many German and Polish films were shot!
You are right it’s something beautiful beyond words. I’m 42 and loved visiting cemeteries since I was a kid. I used to go to a cemetery at night and sleep there when both my parents got drunk and started fighting on the weekends. Despite hearing ghosts and seeing one and he actually sat there and spoke to me then got up and just disappeared, I was never afraid. I’d spend a couple days at this cemetery just taking in all the art and details. Imagining the lives of all those souls.
This is by far one of the coolest places I’ve ever been to in my life…absolutely amazing in every aspect. My wife & I spent about 5 hours roaming around & hadn’t seen a but a small fraction of what was there…we were so disappointed they closed early. If we had more time we would’ve come back & spent a few days there. So wonderfully peaceful & the tombs/statues were AMAZING 🤩. So glad you both had a chance to experience that. Hope you hit the Catacombs while you’re there too! You can tour where Nostradamus lived & wrote his quatrains, where Marie Curie lived, the Rodin museum is breathtaking with the Gates of Hell door (which was inspiration for Devil’s Advocate movie with Al Pacino), the Picasso museum, the Louvre, Versailles isn’t far & a quick train ride! I could go on for hours about how fantastic Paris is & the macabre stuff is sweet!
We have finally arrived! Mr. Morrison has been patiently waiting for you two, hearing of the famous Grimm Life Collective from all the others, in the afterlife. You two have fulfilled Jim’s eternal checklist. He now can finally rest in peace!
What's cool also he was born in Melbourne, Florida. His childhood house is still there.My sister loves The Doors. I heard them a lot because her being ten years older than me.
I love graveyards.... They are so beautiful..
Merry Christmas, Grimm Life Collective! 🎄🎅🏻
Brilliant a went to see Jim's grave too my best band x I went to Oscar wildest grave too when it never had the glass round him.the cemetery is huge x
Death makes Angels 😇 of us all and gives us wings where we had shoulders smooth as raven claws.... Feast of Friends.....James Douglas Morrison 🙏🏻🌹🕊️ ❤
That was a great video. My favorite crypt was the one that looked like a church with the statues with the missing heads. Awesome place!
My maternal grandfather Frank Joseph Grattan Geary (died circa 1920) is buried at the Pere Lachaise Cemetery
Wow! Thank you for this. I have seen Jim's grave a thousand times but you guys walking thru it has been amazing! It is just beautiful!
I was lucky enough to visit this place years ago. So beautiful
Clicked on this video so fast. Love this cemetery. Have you ever been to Green-wood in Brooklyn? I recommend.
I'm really loving these videos from Europe. ❤
Georges Rodenbach was a brilliant Belgian writer, and worth a Google for anyone who isn't familiar with his work.
Rock on Grimm💜🖤🎥🤟 great video!!
Wow what an amazing video Paris the country of love. and it's really awesome that you both visited Jim Morrison.
Just discovered your channel and I Love it! Very well done. I am a huge Morrison fan & want to visit this beautiful city one day.
wow! how kool to go to jim morrisons grave,, a lifelong dream of mine..lucky you guys! god bless you! hi jessica!
Enchanting video! Excellent work, thank you so much!
Thank you ❤ I’ve wanted to see this cemetery for a long time due to Oscar Wilde being buried here. Beautiful 😍
Hahaha this very special French *eyebrow raised* grim adventure....great
Thanks for Beautiful Vlog. I am amazed with all of Jim Morrison's rock star money, he doesn't have an ornate crypt or beautiful statues for final resting place.
Amazing how something Morbid, yet still hold something Beautiful. The Art and Architecture of these old cemeteries are Beautiful. I lived in New England, specifically Rhode Island for 13 years. Some of the Cemeteries have dates going back to the mid 1600's. The Art and Achitecture to me was Amazing, Beautiful and just appealing to me. Enough to make me want to explore the Cemeteries there. I would just be all over it if I was there in Old Engaland, France and surrounding territories.
I was there in 2018 and there was almost no one else there. It was one of the best days of my entire life. 💗
How I would love to visit Paris some day.thank you. For showing us Jim Morrisons burial spot. Merry Christmas to you and Jessica
What a beautiful cemetery. It's like an art gallery. Thank you for sharing. I have always wanted to see the cemetery in Barre Vermont. Love your videos! ♥️💀♥️
so impressed by your European adventures! marvellous!!!!
Good morning from Gatlinburg TN Smoky Mountains Grimms! I hope you two have a wonderful Christmas! My 50th birthday is Jan 2...If you have a moment to say hi, you'd make my day! I watch you guys at night, after i work, film, close the gym and relax3😂😂😂.. ⛄⛄⛄
Thank you Michael and Jessica for an amazing tour
Happy Halloween🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
The Awesomeness Continues!! 👊✊😊 Another Awesome Episode Like Usual. 😆👍🍁
RIP Jim 😔
Another fantastic video from you and Jessica!
I was at Père Lachaise Cemetery, in 1996, Paris then was beautiful, walking around Paris was a delight. I saw Jim Morrison's grave, where 2 Gendarme's were guarding Jim's grave, the bust was stolen, I think in 1971, soon after Jim was buried. There was Oscar Wilde's, Chopin, Sarah Bernhardt, Edith Piaf, Samuel Becket's graves, and other's, the only spoiler was Oscar Wilde's huge tombstone had graffiti on it🙄 Went to Jim Morrisons apartment, opposite was a bar where Jim frequented, it had his leather jacket, and other artifacts, blessed memories😀
WOW!!!!!!!! Absolutely beautiful!
The statues are simply exquisite ! thank you for sharing always!
❤❤Dearest Grimm. So,beautiful. Desolate sweet cemetery. Gorgeous tombs and statuary. Wonderful to see Jim and Edith. And sweet Oscar. I have lived many lifetimes in France. Enchanting. L❤ve you❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My mother was born and raised in France during the occupation. Long story. The beauty of the art in so many mediums around France is simply second to none. Especially Paris. Even Hitler loved it so much he allowed the Treatise to be signed just south of Bordeaux on a train with SS Officer's. There my mother was held captive until she was freed by her brother who was French Resistance. My Grand'Mere' was given a choice of concentration camp or making munition's in Berlin as there was too few people left there. Such history. All the armies of the world have walked beneath the Arc' du Triumphe' and down the Champs Elysees...yet Paris stands. I cried when Norte' Dame' burned. Praise God I saw her in all her beauty before it did. Love you guys and thanks. BTW my mother could sing La Vie en Rose just as if Miss Pilaf herself were there, and yes I cried...
@officialGrimmlifecoIlective I live vicariously through you and it's wonderful!
Oh, I thought you guys were gonna visit François-Vincent Raspail's grave, the statue of which has been made famous by the Dead Can Dance. But thank you so much for visiting Chopin, his heart belongs to us, literally. 🙂 Best wishes from Poland!
🇵🇱🇺🇸
I LOVE Dead Can Dance!!! I didn’t know there was a statue there affiliated with them! I’m assuming they use it on an album cover or in a video? Do tell…🧐😎
@@The_Real_ASMR_Noir "Within the Realm of a Dying Sun". 😉
the art is just amazing.
OMG!! Thank you both for this amazing video!! Merry Christmas! 💝🎃💝
Love this!!! So jealous I wanna see Jim Morrison’s grave
That place is so beautiful
Great job on the tour video!! Been there a couple of times and it was great. Nice seeing it again in your video. Happy Halloween Mike & Jess.
The statuary is exquisite. Jaw dropping. Thank you both for showing us this magnificence.
Simply beautiful. Rewatching to absorb it all again. Thank you! 🪦
I find cemeteries very comforting. I know that probably sounds very weird to many, but I feel you and Jessica understand me. Thanks Grimm for another well documented vid.
A very beautiful video. I imagine climbing down to find a labyrinth of graves. In places like this I always imagine them all to be one gigantic dungeon labyrinth, big enough so that Ouroboros can pass through.
Was there a few years ago...great place.
There are def some wild and out there graves you found here.Love it!
I’m from France I’ve been following you guys for years ☺️❤
I don't usually say much I just give a big thumbs up to show my appreciation of your hard work. Just wanted to say this European tour has been great. Every video brilliant.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧
