Pere Lachaise Cemetery, Monument to Jews Deported to Auschwitz Concentration Camp in WWII. Modern Suclpture, Credit Artist: "Louis Miteuberg" "One doesn't usually associate a cemetery with a romantic stroll-- but a visit to Pere-Lachaise begs exactly that. Tucked away in a corner of northeastern Paris, the cemetery is affectionately called la cite des morts-- the city of the dead-- by Parisians. With its rolling hills, thousands of trees, winding paths with carefully plotted "street" names, and elaborate sepulchers and tombs, it's easy to see why Pere-Lachaise is considered Paris' most hauntingly beautiful place of rest. And countless great figures have their resting place here, including Chopin, Proust, Colette, or Jim Morrison. A true Paris must-see." (Courtney Traube, )
