Père Lachaise is a pantheon of souls divided into sectors, which is one of the iconic tourist attractions of Paris. Here, every tombstone is like an encyclopedia article and an exhibit in a museum, an open-air museum.
The main necropolis of the country is comparable in size to the Vatican, divided into streets and decorated with cypresses, pine trees, magnolias and wisteria, and the main decoration, of course, is the sculptural compositions of the tombs. Gothic and Masonic, romantic and humorous - they all catch your eye.
A grave on Père Lachaise is comparable to buying an expensive home, and famous artists and composers, writers and poets, and, of course, very rich people find refuge here.
This place is held in high esteem not only in France, but throughout the world. It was here that the Rockefellers and Bugatti founded their tomb, here Oscar Wilde and Jim Morrison, Chopin and Modigliani, Maria Callas and Isadora Duncan found peace...
And, of course, French celebrities: Delacroix, Balzac, Baron Haussmann, Moliere, lovers Edith Piaf and Yves Montand...
Yves Montand will write about his friend the composer Joseph Cosmas, the author of the music of “Fallen Leaves”: “This was the first melody I played on the piano, now I was touched to see his tombstone on Père Lachaise, but I had difficulty finding it , and you?".
Now Yves Montand himself has found refuge on Père Lachaise, next to Edith Piaf, and his relatives planted slender birch trees nearby so that the crypt of the French chansonnier could be seen from afar, which was not necessary for the crypt of Countess Demidova, because it rises three levels and conceals the secret of her will.
Père Lachaise is perfect to visit at any time of the year: it is shrouded in flowers in the spring, the shady streets share a pleasant coolness in the summer, the necropolis looks especially atmospheric on cloudy days, and with fallen snow it looks most gothic.
