Sorry LEP, but tramping around a cemetery looking at the tombs of famous dead people is not my idea a fun way to spend now rare afternoons in Paris - but chacun a son ghoul :-)

I think I'll probably have a look at books by famous dead and living people in Shakespeare & co. and then, if the weather is OK (forecast is "sunny"), have a drink on the deck of one of the boat-bars parked nearby with a view of the back of Notre Dame.

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.

Too bad you're not coming Ted. You're probably the only one who could tell us who all these dead people were and what they accomplished.;)

You mean you're not going to have them speak to us from the grave, LEP?

I'm sure afew will do that - I thought Morrison was a UK supermarket chain :-)

I thought it was a place where we went to get stoned at night. What else is it?

You used to go to the supermarket to get stoned at night??

Oh, man, I'm going to post Ginsberg's A Supermarket In California again...

No, valiantly resist temptation.

When the supermarkets were shut, the Père Lachaise was "open".

Well, I guess I'm with you on that, and probably will only arrive for the dinner (may not be able to be in Paris early enough for anything else anyway).

My wife will NOT attend after all.
