Le Cimetière des chiens d'Asnières-sur-Seine II - Tipsy's Secret

Tipsy


Yesterday was the first of many photos from le Cimetière de chiens.  Terry, one of my thoughtful readers,  left a comment with this link from *le Figaro .   Apparently dear sweet Tipsy was buried with a diamond encrusted collar worth 9,000 euros and his/her neck and the grave was robbed recently!   The name Tipsy ran a bell and as luck would have it......I had taken a photograph when we visited in January.  I share it with you today.

Mary, Marie and Richard decided that the directions to the cemetery posted on the internet were not the quickest, so I give you Mary's directions here. It's a delightful, short walk through this charming little town. I highly recommend!

"Take the line 13 (direction Asniéres-Gennevillers) to the Gabriel Péri stop.  Take rue des Bas east toward the river - turn right on rue Renan to left on bvd Voltaire...follow to the entrance to the cemetery."
