Hi John,
Not a pilgimage, but we did visit Pere LaChaise cemetery in Paris; here's what we had to say: The legendary Pere LaChaise cemetery occupies more than a hundred acres on Boul. de Menilmontant. Numerous well-known people are buried here including Chopin, Edith Piaf, Yves Montand, Colette, Haussmann, Sarah Bernhardt and Oscar Wilde, to name just a few. The tombs in the cemetery range from beautiful to ostentatious, evidencing the one-upmanship practiced here over the years. http://www.thetravelzine.com/paris1100.htm Cheers! Don and Linda |
