INVALIDES

Paris has what must be the most beautifully peaceful cemeteries in all the world. Each tombstone becomes a extraordinary tribute to a life well lived. This guide book provides maps, some photographs and interesting biographical clips about a few of the permanent residents of Paris.

The book gives directions to graves of such well known Parisians as Marcel Proust, Emile Zola, Isadora Duncan, Oscar Wilde, Alexander Dumas, Gertrude Stein just to name a few. Walking tours are provided for Pere Lachaise, The Pantheon, St. Etienne-du-Mont, Montmartre, St. Vincent, Les Invalides, Passy, Saint Germain des Pres, The Catacombs, Montparnasse, La Chapelle Expiatoire, Saint Denis and a few others.

After taking this guide with me on a trip to Paris I was able to find every grave I searched for with ease and an understanding of exactly what made these permanent Parisians so interesting. Pere Lachaise is overwhelming in scale but probably the most popular cemeterie in Paris. The Pantheon holds scientists and philosophers. Les Invalides proudly holds the remains of a little man named Napoleon with a great big history.

The Catacombs are spookily interesting. Montparnasse has many tombstones that could be sculptures standing in the best art houses of Paris. My favorite cemeterie in all of Paris is Passy, a peaceful, quaint refuge underneath the Eiffel Tower, where birds are chirping and old graves lay covered in simple coats of moss and chipped iron, you can almost feel the restful sleep of those who reside within its walls.

 

The river Seine dissects this area, much of which is built on a monumental scale, from the imposing 18th century buildings of les Invalides to the Art Nouveau Avenues surrounding the Effeil Tower.

Two of Paris's grandest thoroughfares dominate the neighbourhood to the north of the Seine : the Champs Elysees has many smart hotels and shops but today it is more downmarket; and the rue du Faubourg Saint Honore boasts the heavily guarded Palais de l'Elysee.

The village of Chaillot was absorbed into the city in the 19th century, and many of its opulent Second Empire mansions are now ambassies or company headquarters.

Streets around the place du Trocadero and the Neo-Classical Palais de Chaillot are packed full of museum and elegant cafes.
