In Good Company - Paris, France

Halloween is fast approaching, and a visit to a cemetery can often be a terrifying experience.  However on my recent trip to Paris this summer I visited a cemetery in the name of photography and tourism.  The Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris is definitely off the tourist track, but it was one of my favorite 'sites' I visited.  The cemetery is filled with famous people who have been laid to rest.  You can spend hours wandering around the crumbling pathways looking for their tombstones...and taking eerie pictures of course! If photographing the cemetery, try to find unique perspectives and don't be afraid to get close!  Pere Lachaise photography.
