Leave a comment | 4 June 2009

We only walked through a small part of Paris’s famed Père Lachaise Cemetery, but it was enough to spot Edme and Vasilica:

Also buried in Père Lachaise is Fulgence Bienvenüe (1852-1936), the civil engineer who helped create the Paris Métro.

In a much smaller cemetery in the town of Mougins, I found the names Adelme, Ottorino, and Nazareth:

On a monument aux morts located in the town of Grasse, I saw the names Baptistin, Hippolyte and Jeannin:

And on a similar monument in Cannes, I noticed the name Maillan (3rd name down):
