Paris 2003

My first trip to Paris was not going to be complete without visiting a few of the cemeteries (which are hard to avoid). Much like New Orleans, cemeteries in Paris are social sites. People take their lunch there, lovers canoodle on benches and pooches are welcome off leash.

A totally different atmosphere than the catacombs these cemeteries tucked behind high walls and wrought iron gates feel more parks for the living than plots for the dead.

I hope to some day have many more photos of Paris' famous cemeteries and permanent residents...one day...

Even Dita gets to know the Permanent Residents of Paris at the tomb of Victor Noir.
