How to go to Jim Morrison's grave

You're in Paris, and in a beautiful cemetery... can't go wrong 4 years ago

I’m fascinated by Jim Morrison. I can’t decide if I would love him or hate him if I were to meet him. Probably both. I sort of happened upon his grave the first time I was in Paris- it’s a bit unimpressive (but “hello, I love you” was written on his headstone in lipstick), but Pere Lachaise Cemeterie is eerily beautiful (and would be more so if not for all the “Jim—> this way” graffiti”). Visit Oscar Wilde and Chopin while you’re there.



Hard to say if it is "worth" doing at this point 4 years ago

When I lived in France I was lucky to get to Paris many times. I was 21 at the time & went to Pere Lachaise cemetery more than once with visitors to show them Jim Morrison’s grave. Seeing cemeterys from other cultures is pretty interesting and this one has LOTS of famous graves but is overrun with graffiti about this more esoteric guest. The grave itself is in the middle of much larger monuments and has a bust of Jim Morrison is his most beautiful days. The grounds around are covered with offering such as bottles of booze and condoms.
