Our day at Cimetière du Père-Lachaise last week afforded quite unusual views.
I found this grave particularly moving
Nursing her child
Here are some details
>> On a totally different note, if you want to get a good laugh, go to my French blog where you’ll find a video of Bill Maher about France and the French.
I put it on the French blog because it has French subtitles.

I watch Bill’s shows every week during his seasonal run on HBO. I thought his segment on France was hilarious….but very true.
And you are correct, that is quite a moving monument and quite unusual for a grave.
PS….Like your new set-up and think you will be happy with WOrdPress.
This really is beautiful Claude….quite different than anything I’ve seen for a grave. Thank you.
Claude — nice photo! Can you email me? I’d like to ask about using some of your photos in a design I’m working on but I can’t find an email link for you. I’m mplsdesign at hotmail.com. Thanks!
I’ve been to Pere Lachaise twice and missed this BOTH times! It is quite beautiful.
Loved the little clip on your other blog! Very funny!!
@ Alan G: I am already quite pleased with WordPress.com. Bill’s face was familiar, but I can’t remember from where.
@ Joy: yes, very unusual. I like the silhouette of the green statue, a woman sitting on another grave in the background.
@ Peggy: Père Lachaise is incredibly big. I am not sure I’d be able to find that grave again
Such a sweet scupture and unlike any cemetery sculpture I’ve ever seen. It is worthy of a museum. Even museums don’t have motherhood sculptures like this.
@MotherPie, I thought you’d like it.
