You have to arrive at the <A NAME="perelas"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Cemetery Pere-Lachaise</b></FONT> at about 8.00-8.30. It opens its doors at 8.00.</div> <bR> <div> Reach the Metro "Pere Lachaise". The entrance is from Boulevard de Menilmontant. At the entrance you can buy the map of the Cemetery (1-2 Euros). The map is not presented here. </div> <bR> <div> Now you are in the largest Parisian cemetery (43 hectares). Jesuits, who had bought that land in XVII century, called it Mont-Louis. Napoleon was responsible for the reacquisition of the property. From 1804 it became known as Eastern Cemetry. </div> <bR> <div> Today that's a place where you can meet the past of the world culture. And not only culture. The French history of the XIX-XX centuries can be learned with the help of the graves. Only the graves of the world-known people are the part of our trip. Also, during your trip try to pay your attention to the little chapels, wonderful sculptures and the beautiful nature (the trees and the lawns).  This trip will take 2-3 hours (depends by you). </div> <bR> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <IMG SRC="0fd0a7c0.jpg" border=0 width="522" height="380" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <div> Begin your trip with <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><B>Av. De L'Ouest</b></FONT>. The phanthoms' town welcomes you. As I asked previously, pay your attention to the old chapels, which you will find on the both sides of the Avenue. Then take left to <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><B>Av. Circulaire</b></FONT>. Continue with <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><B>Av. Cail</b></FONT>. After you cross a little square, turn left into a little appendix. On your left you will find the Grave of <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Honore de Balzac</b></FONT>. Stay some minute there and try thinking about one of his stories.</div> <bR> <div> Then come back to the previous Avenue and continue your climbing up until you see on your left the grave of <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Eugene Delacroix</b></FONT>. When you arrive at <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><B>Av. Transversale</b></FONT>, take right. A few meters later turn left to <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><B>Av. des Etrangers</b></FONT> <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><B>Morts pour pour la France</b></FONT>. On your right you will find the grave of the world-famous spiritualist <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Allan Kardec</b></FONT>. Possibly, you will see here some strange people meditating in front of the grave. Continue your walk with the Avenue to visit on your left the grave of <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Apollinaire</b></FONT>. Again, follow with the Avenue until you arrive at <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><B>Avenue Transversale 2</b></FONT>. Take right and continue your walk with that Avenue. Then at the next quarter turn right. On your right you will reveal the moderately built grave of Great <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Yves Montand</b></FONT>. For me, his grave is the transparency of his life. </div> <bR> <div> Continue your walk and then turn left. Few meters later on your right you will see the grave of <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Goyau</b></FONT>. Then turn right to find on your right the grave of <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Sarah Bernhardt</b></FONT>. The flowers are the best witnesses of the people's love toward that wonderful woman. </div> <bR> <div> When you reach <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><B>Av. Transversale 1</b></FONT>, turn left. A bit later turn twice right. The graves of the unforgettable <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Moleire</b></FONT> and <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>La Fontaine</b></FONT> are on the right side. Continue your walking, cross <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><B>Av. de la Chapelle</b></FONT> and then ask the people about the grave of <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Frederic Chopin</b></FONT>. At my last visit the grave was under restorations. Now, follow to the intersection of <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><B>Av. du Puits</b></FONT> with <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><B>Av. Casimir Perier</b></FONT>. Continue the walk with <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><B>Av. Casimir Perier</b></FONT>. On your right is the grave of <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Heloise et Abelard</b></FONT>. The famous story of theirs love can't leave you indifferent. The end of the story - both was sent to the monasteries. After the death the excited loving letters were found. Not far from here there are the graves of baron de <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Rothschild</b></FONT> and the famous painter, <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Pissaro</b></FONT> (impressionist).</div> <bR> <div> Now, continue with <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><B>Av. Casimir Perier</b></FONT>, turn right and left to reach the grave of <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Jim Morrison</b></FONT>. The public is mostly young. His soul still lives in young hearts. </div> <bR> <div> Find the way to <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><B>Av. Circulaire</b></FONT>. You have to climb up a few minutes to reach, firstly, the graves of the Eternal <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Edith Piaf</b></FONT> and <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Modigliani</b></FONT>.</div> <bR> <div> Continue with <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><B>Av. Circulaire</b></FONT> to find the monuments commemorating the victims of Nazi Germany. The monuments to the Jews who were killed in the German gas cameras can't leave indifferent anybody. 6 millions of Jews were killed during the war. Here is something like the memorial to that murder.</div> <bR> <div> Close to there you will see the monuments commemorating those who fought against the Nazis in Spain and in the Resistance (the French anti-Nazis underground movement during the years of the German occupation of France).</div> <bR> <div> Cross the Avenue to visit the monument commemorating the victims of the Parisian Commune. The French army killed people, who had rebelled against the German occupation during the Franco-Prussian war. The barricades didn't help in the fighting against the regular army. The traces of the bullets are still can be viewed on the wall (<FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Mur des Feres</b></FONT>). Actually, this place is symbolizing the end of Parisian Commune. Today we will visit the place where the Commune had begun - Montmartre.</div> <bR> <div> Now, you can make a short trip through the poorest part of Paris - the region of the immigrants from Northern Africa. For that, leave the cemetery at the conservation office. Follow by the <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><B>Blvd. de Charonne</b></FONT>, <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><B>rue de Bagnolet</b></FONT> and <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><B>rue des Pyrenees</b></FONT>. Here you can eat a lot of "cuscus" and other Arabian and Northern African Jews' food. Then you can leave the region at the Metro "Gambetta".</div> <bR> <div> If you prefer to omit this walk, enter the Metro "Philippe-August". </div> <bR> <div> Leave the Metro at "Pl. de Clichy". With <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><B>rue Caulaincourt</b></FONT> you`ll reach the entrance of the <A NAME="monmcem"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Cimetiere de Montmartre</b></FONT> (the Cemetery of Montmartre).

Hector-Berlioz</b></FONT> to visit the grave of the author of "The Count Monte-Cristo", <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Alexander Dumas</b></FONT>.

Cordier</b></FONT> and go straight until you see on the right side of the path the grave of the famous painter - <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Degas</b></FONT>.

Close to the WC, turn right to see on your right the Tomb of the prominent French actress from "Comedy Francaise", <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Dalida</b></FONT>.

The colors of the wonderful pictures of the museum are awaking your imagination. When you leave the museum, you can walk a bit along the street. Here are a lot of shops where you can buy materials of different sorts. A lot of the work for your tailor! The best curtains in Paris are here, also. </div> <bR> <div> Now, begin you climbing up. If you are tired, take a funiculaire (use your Carte Orange or one Metro's ticket). Now you are on the Basilica's square. If you are lucky to have a good weather, you will be able to see a lot of Parisian sites - <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Tour Montparnasse</b></FONT>, <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Notre Dame</b></FONT> and so on. </div> <bR> <div> Catholics built the Basilica after the Franco-Prussian war to commemorate its victims.

A lot of road signs will show you the way. The street painters will lead you all the way till the Place. If you want them making your portrait you have to pay 200-500 FF (depends on your bargaining abilities). Once it was the main square of the village Montmartre. Today it has a lot of portrait artists, restaurants, souvenir shops and, of course, tourists. If you are hungry, you can eat here.</div> <bR> <div> Not far from the Place you can visit the <A NAME="dali"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Espace Montmartre-Dali</b></FONT>. A lot of the master's works are here. Look at the road signs to find the entrance. Open 10.00-18.00 (5.3 Euros, 4 - reduced). Not all of you will like these surrealistic paintings. But the beautiful explanations can help you to understand his wonderful works. For example, one sculpture shows the man with tills. It means, that a man is the store of ideas and deliberations (like the papers in the tills).</div> <bR> <div> Now, come back to the <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#0000FF" FACE="Arial" ><B>Pl. du Tertre</b></FONT>, reach <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><B>rue du Mont</b></FONT> and turn left to <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#FF0000" FACE="Arial" ><B>rue Corot</b></FONT>.
