Paris is a haven for those wanting to check out the permanent resting place of the ordinary Parisian but more commonly the rich and famous. Far from being macabre it's cemeteries are filled with tourists, often rivaling some of Paris' more traditional attractions. The 'residents' range in their popularity and notoriety (with some being more famous after death) to the vast number of ordinary Parisians who lie side by side in some of the most spectacular burial grounds of Europe. Famous authors, painters, sculptors, comedians, politicians, actors and actresses, inventors, philosophers, astronomers...... the list goes on. Oh, and a dead rock star. Here you can take a tour around some of the more inspiring examples of Parisian funerary.
