As resting places go, I think this might be primo real estate. Cimetière de Passy .... of course.

Come and join my Giveaway of a very special painting!
Stunning is an understatement! What a view is right! Too bad only the visitors get to see it! Not the poor guy buried beneath...
What an amazing sight that is Virginia, it looks so contemporary against the other headstones and of course there in the background...!
I'd love to know the story behind that piece of sculpture. Certainly an unexpected find in a cemetery.
That's quite a flashy, fantastic sculpture overlooking la Tour Eiffel! Oui, tu as raison: location, location, location!
This girl is definitely into traditional, classic art and sculpture ... but ... this modern angel (?) certainly caught my eye! what a fantastic location and view. Must go there when next we visit Paris. You will be our guide, n'est-ce-pas?
My first thought was a modern take on Pegasus. Really must visit this cemetery next time—thanks for the inspiration, V!
This is very interesting, I have never seen it.. Thank you for your comments about the Pétanque players..that must have been quite a treat for you !
Have a wonderful Sunday.
ave fenix,perhaps?
beautiful shot, miss virginia.
I want to be buried in such style, to insure plenty of visitors!
Hmmmm. If this is a cemetery and those are monuments, I wonder what the dude did to be memorialized by that modern gold bird. Or pegasus. Hard to tell.
Who is buried beneath that?
What a weird monument! i'm wondering who is resting there?.. do you know?..
Édouard Manet, his brother and Berthe Morisot (his sister in law, maybe something more...) rest there. On the modest tomb a small bust of the artist.
