Now, I know some of you would love to visit Paris, but for whatever reason, you just haven't made it there.

Yet.


Whether it be budget constraints, fear of flying, or your other-half not being much of a traveler, or solo travel just isn't your thing, I understand.

In these cases, armchair travels are a perfect solution.  How about  a virtual visit to a special place in Paris?  

I share with you,a website for Père Lachaise.  A cemetery on the western edge of Paris.  Many famous people, including Jim Morrison, have this as their final resting place.  And what a lovely place to spend eternity!

You get a lovely panoramic view of the entrance, as well as many other spots within the cemetery itself.  If you really want your moneys worth, you can click on each gravesite for an up-close and personal visit, right from your comfy computer chair.

Edith Piaf, Rossini, Chopin and Heloise et Abelard are a few of my favs!


Click away my Paris lovers and please, tell me which is your favorite gravesite?
