Image of the Week : Molière in Père Lachaise

written by robin

Moliere's omb in Pere LachaiseWhen you need a little quiet time from the hustle and bustle of Paris, head to Père Lachaise cemetery in the 20th arrondissment in Paris.  Stroll the beautiful tree-lined tiny pathways and see where many famous literary and musical greats were put to rest.  Edith Piaf, Jim Morrison, Chopin, Balzac, Proust and Rossini are just a few.

The above photo is the tomb of 17th century French playwright and actor, Molière.  La Fontaine’s tomb is just behind.  I love the intricate iron gate which surrounds the plot.
