Père Lachaise cemetery

























Père Lachaise cemetery is silent and quite peaceful and visiting it is a bit like being on a treasure hunt as you seek out the famous buried there - I found the writers, Proust, Collette, Balzac, Wilde and of course every druggies favourite - Jim Morrison.
 
This afternoon visited La Madeleine church, designed as a temple to the glory of Napoleons army.
The cinema tonight was an animated film called "Persepolis". An adaption of a celebrated comic book about Iranian society as viewed by a young girl and her family in Tehran. Four stars.
