An amazing walk through the history of Paris and Europe. Oscar Wilde, Edith Piaf, Jim Morrison pay homage to some of the great people of the past. Some of the crypts are imposing others morbid but a must see

Some well known people are here, but you won't find them without help. The place is huge and hilly, Well worth the visit. Washroom facilities are very basic, so go before you go.

On the weekend they run out and it is impossible to find anyone without one. .....Enjoy connecting with others from around the world... More
