Felix Beaujour division 48 Père-Lachaise 1872

During the final days of the Paris Commune, before the terrible denouement of Bloody Week ending with the massacre of 147 communards at the eastern edge of Père-Lachaise, the cemetery was used by rebel troops as bivouacs.

Here we see a print from 1872 depicting a number of soldiers (probably communards) using tombs as tables for dinner while lounging around drinking waiting for something to happen. The soldier in the background is standing at the entrance to Felix Beaujour's large obelisk in division 48.

Paris Cemeteries website is new and improved!

At the risk of sounding like a very tired and very old American TV commercial selling laundry detergent, the website pariscemeteries dot com has been greatly expanded and newly updated.

After reviewing the groundbreaking work of Bertrand Beyern (print) and Philippe Landru (online) I have nearly tripled my coverage of burial spaces within the 20 arrondissements of Paris.

So, if you have a free moment or two I'd appreciate any comments or suggestions you might have about the updated website:

Thanks!
