Some of the darker, but still fascinating, attractions of Paris are the numerous cemeteries that are scattered around the city. From the fabled grave of Jim Morrison to the anonymous French soldier, strolling through the cemeteries is a great way to get a feel for Paris' rich history and the inhabitants that made it great. For this photo essay, I ventured to the Père Lachaise Cemetery, the Montparnasse Cemetery, the Montrouge Cemetry, and finally underneath the city to the Catacombs to explore some of Paris' more quiet and somber sights.
Tune in next week for a video of my study abroad in Paris apartment, which is near the Bastille and next to a farmer's market!
