PERE LACHAISE CEMETERY: PARIS FRANCE
          "I seldom go out, but when I feel myself flagging I go and cheer myself up in Pere
                    Lachaise...while seeking out the dead I see nothing but the living."   ~Balzac

 Pere Lachaise is a remarkable cemetery. I have never seen a place with such an abundance of truly beautiful funerary sculpture. You can lose yourself for hours in this stately city of the dead. It has many levels, cobblestone avenues and shady trees.    Interred herein are several famous people. Among them Balzac, LaFontaine, Moliere, Sarah Bernhardt, Chopin and Jim Morrison.
