cimetiere monmarte

My obsession of cemeteries is still goin' strong, today I visited Cimetiere Monmarte.

This was a bridge overpass that went over the cemetery:

a round about, about the size of Leucadia's:

the long avenue:

It's fun looking for specific graves because it's sort of like a treasure hunt. On the map they specify which road it is by, and which numbered division, and they mark an X where is sortaaaaa is, but not really. I love gravehunting.

Here is a video of the surroundings:

After 10 minutes of searching I found Francois Truffaut's grave! The great cinematographer! To see what films he has made, click here.

Here are two films that I watched in Thompson's class at Cal Poly that I highly highly highly recommend:

A Bout Se Souffle (Breathless)

L'Argent de Poche (Small Change)

Merci Monsieur Truffaut

Today I checked out the Cimetiere Pere Lachaise because I heard some famous French people were buried there. Turns out this is the raddest cemetery everrrrrr. Here is the plan:

Famille Royer - Lana's descendants perhaps?

Famille Adam aka the Adam's Family.

I know, I know, you must be thinking, Kendra, in a cemetery? She is the biggest scardy cat in the universe. But after going here I think I'm sort of fascinated/intrigued and I want to go to more cemeteries now. In the daylight, of course.
