beautiful père-lachaise

 morgana visited the père-lachaise cemetery today with her friend francesca.

i did not visit this cemetery when i was in paris, but i wish i had. it was the first garden and muncipal cemetery, established by napoleon in 1804, and designed by the french architect alexandre-théodore brongniart. according to wikipedia, it holds a little over one million bodies in its graves, thus there is a waiting list for current burials.

it looks like it was a bright sunny day for a walk together in the city of light . .
