They say a visit to Paris isn't complete without a walk through the Cimetière du Montparnasse. So, that was done and can now be checked off the list!

These are just a couple of photos I took in this very famous Parisian cemetery, wherein are buried some of France's most notables. Namely: Frédéric Bartholdi, sculpture of the Statue of Liberty; Simone de Beauvoir, feminist and philosopher; André Citroën, founder of France Citroën auto factories; Émile Durkheim, sociologist; Jean-Pierre Rampal, flautist; and Jean-Paul Sartre, philosopher and novelist, among others.

Parisian Beauty

Detail on a building : Paris, FR

Every corner and street in Paris seems to hold some bit of beauty. If it isn't in the ironwork around balconies or doorways, it's in the clothing being worn by Parisians. In this case, it's the beauty of the details on a building on a random street.

Seens in a Paris Café

This past weekend was spent in Paris, the City of Lights. Each morning, we had breakfast at one of the cafes on the Montparnasse. These are "seens" in a Paris café.

French Breakfast : Bread, croissant, tea, orange juice. Oh, and a bee on my bread...
