THE MONTMARTRE CEMETERY





This magical place, literally across the street from our hotel, is described by Wikipedia as epitomizing the "artsy, quixotic, gentle, almost whimsical Paris that every romantic visitor secretly cherishes." It is indeed.It is the final resting place of numerous famous people, including Hector Berlioz, Edgar Degas, Alexandre Dumas, Heinrich Heine,Francois Truffaut and Emile Zola.It was the perfect place to visit on a rainy day and watch the feral cats run behind the bizarre mausoleums as I wandered for hours.
