On Tuesday I walked to the largest, and perhaps most famous cemetary in Paris to see the graves of some of the greatest cultural figures ever to have died in Paris, including Jim Morrison, Gertrude Stein, Frederick Chopin, Marcel Proust, Honore de Balzac, Eugene DeLacroix, and of course, Oscar Wilde. Judging by his grave, he has to be the most popular dead guy in the world.
The cemetary is huge, and they do not give out maps, but luckily I met an Israeli girl who had a map, and we hung out together at the cemetary. We even attended the funeral of a ballet dancer who, judging from the size and pomp of the send-off, must have been very popular.
