Paris is a great place to see dead people, Jim Morrison, Chopin, Sarah Bernhardt. Everyone wanted to be buried in Paris. But apparently the best place to be, other than still alive of course, is the Pantheon. It’s the VIP room for the dead: Victor Hugo, Marie Curie, Alexander Dumas, Voltaire and Rousseau. In fact many of them were moved here after they had been buried somewhere else! I guess it was only after they were properly famous. I’ll bet some big bouncer wouldn’t let them in immediately.
