It felt like I was in a miniature city with the winding cobblestone roads and grave sites that were like little churches. Probably should have gotten a map to find the famous graves but manged to find Jim Morrison's without it. Caught the #69 bus outside the entrance for a nice ride back to the city center.

This was my husbands pick but it turned out to be a very interesting afternoon. The architecture and maintenance that goes in to many of the monuments and tombs is spectacular. Make sure you buy a map of the cemetery as the signage is extremely limited. Though not indicated in some tour books, strolling along the back edge and looking... More

A perfect spot for a stroll on a sunny spring or fall afternoon. So many celebrities are buried here...from Gertrude Stein, Oscar Wilde and Moliere to Edith Piaf, Chopin and Jim Morrison.

OK, you're thinking, "Why go to a cemetery, they're all dead." Wrong. So many famous dead with so much history. Not to mention the style and diversity of the crypts.

Definitely take a map with you to help find graves that interest you. A lot of tourists sightseeing this cemetery and do not have to fear... More

Yep, suggesting a tour of a cemetery is a bit weird, however, this cemetery is quite a nice place for a walk. I took my 16 year old daughter in search of Jim Morrison's grave. Yes, we found it, no, it is not such a nice grave, however, we can mark it off our bucket list of things to do... More

Just a week before my visit to Paris, Ray Manzarek, keyboard player and founder of the Doors passed away and reminded myself that I had never visited Jim Morison's grave although it has been on my list for many years. One Saturday afternoon, we decided to pay a visit. It was bit difficult to find his grave and took us... More

I visited primarily to visit Jim Morrisons grave - but found the cemetery really beautiful and peaceful
