Having just had a wonderful weekend in Paris, I felt I had to report back and tell whoever suggested it, that the visit to a Paris cemetery was really interesting - if a little weird. I have assumed from what I read and was told, that the couple buried here posed for their masterpiece of a gravestone to ensure relatives were always able to visit them after their departures...     Report
