The Parisian cemeteries had to be some of my favourite sites during my stay, the first one we went to was Père Lachaise ( as recommended by Dial V for Vintage and Kelly Marie, thank you lovelies) was breathtakingly beautiful, it felt like being in another world, so calm. It amazes me how ornate the tombs and graves used to be, it now seems that death is so taboo that tombs and graves have to be hidden away and as a result all look the same, and therefore more depressing in my opinion.

Montparnasse Cemetery, wasn't as beautiful as the other two but still had it's own charm.

Montmartre Cemetery was my second favourite, we did not explore it as much as we would have liked to, way too tired by the time we got there!

ReplyDeleteI visited Père Lachaise 13 years ago and have wanted to go back ever since. A very strange and beautiful experience.
