Portes des Mausolées VII

As I said yesterday, Cimetière de Passy, may be my favorite smaller resting place in Paris. Located just across the street from Palais de Chaillot, it's easy to include on your visit to the Eiffel Tower and the wonderful museums nearby.

Today, we move to my small but favorite, Cimetière de Passy. Located near Place de Trocadéro, , 

this is a wonderful way to tour a Paris cemetery while visiting other sites. It is small and lovely. It's probably my favorite.

Portes des Mausolées V

If yesterday's doors were in my Top Ten, this might be Numéro 1. I love the soft color and the dried palm frond tucked in the grill. 

Portes des mausolées IV

These could be in my Cemetery Doors Top Ten.

Père-LaChaise

Portes des mausolées III

TOday we move to the Cimetière du Père-Lachaise. I have visited many times and still feel like I just scratched the surface. It is enormous. If you are in Paris for a while, it's worth it. If you're only there for a few days, I'd tour Passy or Montparnasse.

Cimetière du Montmartre

Cimetière de Passy II - La porte ouverte

Today, the second in the Passy series. The mausoleums here are beautiful. I think I could publish and entire book of just the doors. I especially loved the blue palm fronds and wreath on the doors and the shadows inside.

Cimetière de Passy

As you know by know, Passy is one of my favorite resting places in Paris. Conveniently located near Trocadéro and la Tour Eiffel, it's small, well kept and doable in a short amount of time  If you have the luxury of an extended visit to Paris, of course visit Père Lachaise, if not, this will give you the Paris cemetery experience.
