PTT Picks: Pere Lachaise Cemetary

Sure, you may see the ghost of Oscar Wilde or Jim Morrison, but there's something oddly romantic and interesting about winding through the world's most visited cemetary on a crisp fall day. But with the "grandest address in Paris" covering more than 109 acres, most likely you'll want to head "gayly forward" to the burial sites of the cemetary's more famous including those mentioned above as well as Edith Piaf, Honore de Balzac, and Colette. Look for a free cemetary map at the newstand across from the main entrance.
