Honoring Chopin - division 11

So many flowers are regularly left at Chopin's grave that the two gravesites on either side of his have been expropriated for use as permanent planters. Jim Morrison is of course very popular, too, but nothing like this.

Edith Piaf - division 97

Loie Fuller - division 87

Well, as you can see someone has taken the plaque that once covered Loie Fuller's niche. Her remains are still there, however. Born Marie Louise Fuller in the United States Loie became one of the most famous dancers in late 19th century Paris. The beautiful art nouveau restaurant "Loie Fuller" in Providence is named and decorated in her honor.

Mur des Federes - division 76

Here 147 communards were summarily executed on 28 May, 1871, and their bodies thrown into a common grave next to the wall.
