The smell of honeysuckle transports me back home to my dad's back yard. This was the first time I found it in France at Père Lachaise Cemetary. #honeysuckle #chevrefeuille #france #flower

Not all of the tombs of Père Lachaise are romantic. The northern border of the cemetary is home to le Jardin des Mémoires... The Garden Of Memories, where you can find memorials to victims of war. Some are so heartbreaking they leave you in tears. #buchenwald #WWII #paris #perelachaise (à Cimetière du Père-Lachaise)

Even graves in Paris are a little romantic. (à Cimetière du Père-Lachaise)
