After Lorraine was swept off her feet, we dragged our angry pieds across the city for some mellow stones and tree viewing (as opposed to the Canadian 'rocks and trees').
On our way, we found the French equivalent of Sushi Star!
Pere-Lachaise cemetery was very old, large, and full of interesting tomb-related surprises.
We decided to focus our stay on looking at graves of celebrities- among them were Camille Pissarro, Rossini, Modigliani, and Chopin (above).
We also found Jim Morrison's grave, which was adorned with flowers (one from the French Doors Fan Club), a bottle of gin, and an unused cigarette..
Edith Piaf's was appropriately surrounded by roses, and very classy.
Oscar Wilde's tomb was impressive, and also covered in lipstick.
Then we went to the Parc des Buttes Chaumont (we spotted the cemetery and parc as two appealing green spots to visit when we were on the Eiffel Tower..). It had waterfalls!
A salad bar!
Gazebos.
And the best climbing tree ever.
Whom we named Hermednapold!
