Monday we went to the Pere-Lachaise Cemetery. When it comes to name-dropping this cemetery is #1. It has been called the "grandest address in Paris". Everyone who is anyone want to be buried here. Sarah Bernhardt to Oscar Wilde. And for every American, where is Jim Morrison from the Doors buried? Right here. Light my fire.
