    Too many to quote - Balzac, Chopin, Colette, Daudet Apollinaire..... It seemed that every grave I passed was someone famous (or at least well known!)
    And wasn't there a big WWII thing or something??? I don't know, I just remember there being quite a few Jewish people also.
    The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
    Verona??? it's all surmountable
    Dublin 23.08.06 "The beauty of Ireland, right there!"
    Wembley? We all believe!
    Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
    Chicago 07? And love
    What a different life
    Had I not found this love with you

    Hmm... Edith Piaf is another one, lol, and why I remember HER being there is beyond me :confused:

    Cool place though.

    Because she is one of the great ones (in French culture at least!)

    Strangely enough it was quite a nice place to walk around. Sounds pretty morbid but I found it really interesting. Can someone explain the oranges to me though?

    Just checked...quite a pantheon...

    Balzac - writer
    Chopin - composer
    Georges Bizet - composer
    Sarah Bernhardt - actress
    Beaumarchais - dramatist
    Daumier - painter
    Auguste Compte - philosopher
    Heloise $ Abelard - The doomed lovers
    Appolinaire - poet
    Gerard de Nerval - writer and man who liked to walk a lobster around the Luxembourg gardens
    Eugene Delacroix - writer, painter, art critic
    Marcel Proust - writer

    And these are but a few. Morrison's in good company.

    I actually like walking around cemetaries as well - so does my daughter. We live near one and we always have to cut through it to go anywhere

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    I personally don't think it's that expensive - it's about £3.50 a pint - we were in Cork at the weekend and in Temple Bar in February and we were paying about 10euros for a Guinness and large bottle of Magners (Bulmers - what the fuck 2 different names!!!!) We pay that in Newcastle - sometimes more!
