Wow, you found the entrance to the cemetery? Joel lived just around the corner from there for 6 weeks this spring, and he never actually found the entrance.

We took the Metro to Pere Lachaise, walked out and there it was (the secondary entrance)...
now finding the way out was interesting... the map we had was not quite right. Little paths are shown as what look like a road... and dead ends (pardon the pun).
some gorgeous stuff there. There seems to be much more greenery, a garden, and more flowering plants in Pere Lachaise, compared to Montmartre cemetery...
