Oscar Wilde's lipstick-marked graveToday I went to visit the Cimetière du Père Lachaise, the world’s most visited graveyard according to the Lonely Planet. It took me 40 minutes to get there from Boulevard St Denis all the way down Avenue de la Republique. It didn’t look that far on the map. The cemetery is huge like a small suburb with roads and street signs. There’s 800 000 people buried here and the conservation office gives out free maps showing the location of some of the famous graves that people want to visit. I saw Oscar Wilde’s and Jim Morrison’s grave. Oscar Wilde’s grave is covered in lipstick kisses.
