A good little guide to cemeteries in Paris. ( )

I made a point of packing this book to take along on our last trip to Paris. I was able to talk my traveling companions into spending most of a day with me in Pere Lachaise, and the book added greatly to our enjoyment of this amazing necropolis. I think my companions were amazed by a cemetery that wasn't just headstones but remarkable statuary, and the sheer number of legendary persons who inhabit this earth made it fascinating for everyone.

This is a fairly specialist guide book. If you already know you want to follow the cemetery trail, then take it with you, for it is full of fascinating insights into the lives of some of the most famous people buried in this most wonderful of cities.
If you are a repeat visitor to Paris, or an armchair dreamer, then this is definitely for you. A morning, afternoon or day spent in Pere Lachaise cemetery is an absolute delight. This book can take you there, and beyond.
