Jim Morrison's grave, Summer of 1984

Dec 28, 2016 17:34

I included a pic of Jim Morrison's grave in my journal about 30 years ago...  I wrote:  "This is a picture of Jim Morrison's grave in Paris, France.  My brother and I went to see it two summers ago (1984) when we were in Europe with my parents.  There's a lot of graffiti around his grave.  It's really weird.  I think the cemetery is called Pere LaChaisse Cemitiere, or something like that.  I remember going up to a caretaker and trying to speak French, saying, "Ou' est Jim..." and before I could get the words out, he said, "Jim Morrison?"  "Oui, Oui."  So he told us how to get there (it's a big cemetery)...  but there were arrows people drew along the way, anyway, saying "Jim -->".  It was kind of funny.  A few other famous people were buried there.  Chopin, and Victor Hugo, I think.  It's a weird place.  They have buildings for graves, some of them."
