Père-LachaiseThe Père Lachaise Cemetery, Paris, September 2022
The 2nd visit to the place. This one with a Meetup group and Rémi. A very nice visit with a lot of information on certain characters from this famous cemetery, such as Colette, Chopin, Félix Faure (who died in an "embarrassing" situation whose mistress would have been nicknamed "the funeral director"), Alfred de Musset, Claude-Martin Lecomte, Sergeant Hoff, Jericho,...

A little story: the association "La Mémoire Nécropolitaine" was able to buy an abandoned concession for EUR1.50. For any purchase of an abandoned monument, the buyer must renovate the monument. It only cost 450,000EUR... But it's the 1st monument with a QR-Code... We can now talk about the Père-Lachaise Cemetery 2.0
I will not tell the story of this cemetery again. I already talked about it in a previous article. And I would not reveal all of Rémi's anecdotes. I intend to continue making visits with him, I don't want him to sulk at each visit (smiles).
