Some four
or five years ago, I posted on the Père Lachaise Cemetery. I have been back now
and then… and yesterday I had the privilege to accompany sixteen young
Swedish girls and to, as some kind of “guide”, make a summary tour of this
beautiful place. The Swedish Church in Paris organizes events for the young
visitors to the city and they kindly asked me if I could make this little walk
with them – a mixture of students, au-pair girls… not a single guy!
I use this opportunity
to show some random photos I have taken at the cemetery at different occasions.
This time, I’m not listing or showing all the tombs of famous people. For that
you can either look at my previous post or go to, for example, this site or this one.

Oh Peter -- I love this post so much. First, how fun to have a whole group of young ladies in Père Lachaise!! *grin* The pics are really cute!
Second, you posted so many photos of some of my very favorite "unknown" tombs and markers. So lovely to have a look and I feel like I was on the walk with you.
Thank you for this, truly.
My biggest heartache right now is that I found that I really did come to love Paris after all... You were right that it would happen. :) And the sadness is that it could be many years before I will return. BUT, I did it. I figured out how to love her. In some ways, it took leaving to recognize it, hahahahaha. Sometimes that is the way of it, no? LOL. Anyway, Père Lachaise is my most favorite place in Paris, I think. I have many dear memories of the times I went there and the people I went with, so it is good to relive those memories through your post.
Merci, Peter.

Great images. You have brought back a flood of memories. This is one of my favourite places in Paris. On our first visit we had planned to spend a morning there but ended up staying the whole day in dreadful heat. Warm regards
une visite du cimetiere qui se fait dans la bonne humeur. j'avais jamais vu la tombe de Mano Solo
Le père Lachaise, un sujet presque inépuisable. On remarque que 6% environ des Suédoises portent des souliers rouges.
Bon on peut tout de suite s'appercevoir que ce n'etait pas pour un enterrement... A chaque passage une nouvelle decouverte.
What a wonderful day for you, Peter, surrounded by beautiful women, taking them on a tour of such a fascinating site.
Love your photos - thank you.
hi Peter!
surrounded with 16 cute girls without a single guy!? ^0^ hmm...
thanks for your kind comments on my blog btw, i think now that it's almost close to a year, i;m starting to cram! haha ^0^
i miss Paris every minute of the day,
and how I wish i could fly back the next minute i feel like it. ^0^
this tour made me want to see more,
tnx for sharing.
belle fotos comme toujours.
Beautiful photos! I don't think I'll ever tire from seeing photos of that place - or visiting it in real life. Luckily, now it's just a twenty minute walk away if I feel like it!
Cute girls!!
To say that Swedish women are
beautiful is an understatement...
Un lindo articulo Peter.
Mil gracias.
Besos,
Mme. Mignard
Tu sais bien t'entourer pour la visite de ce cimetière qui est un monument historique à lui tout seul.
Toujours un bon prof! bravo, tu sais t'entourer de jeunesse
