Depuis 1824, first known as Cimetière du Sud. Mary introduced me to this Paris cemetery. I've been back several times. If you've not visited, put it on your list.
Peter, I think we did go together on my trip that Nov. with Karen! :) The little one in Montmartre by the church is the one I long to see though, but since it's only open one day a year, what are the chances of that!
The texture and the wall look very good in deed :)
ReplyDeleteAlas, «Louis» has failed to visit this - or any of the other - cemeteries in Paris...
ReplyDeleteNeat shot of the door, Virginia...
can't wait to see this place...I definitely put it on my list!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like part of a door to a crypt - yes? It's interesting the aging and patina on cemetery stones/crypts is a resemblance of our lives.
ReplyDeleteVoila a shot that would delight our friend Owen, a.k.a. "Mr Toad," V. :-) Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
ReplyDeleteI'd much prefer to visit Le Grand Colbert!
ReplyDeleteWhat a delicious shot with more shades of brown/ochre than an Impressionist's painting.
ReplyDeleteIsn't this great. The colors . . . the textures . . . the character.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot, V! I actually knew at least one person (Gainsbourg) who is buried here. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteI don't think anyone could mimic this color and finish. Gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeleteI will!
ReplyDeleteI will!
ReplyDelete... and we never went together to my favourite one, the Montmartre Cemetery! :-)
