As the Cemetery opened at 9 a.m. decided to explore the area around the cemetery prior to visit. It is quite a normal city area with shops, workers, and the usual city sounds. Let’s take a look in pictures.

A fancy ice cream shop. During my visit Paris was ablaze with beautiful flowers and the scents – shall we say magnifique!

A Garbage Truck.

And toilettes (bathrooms) are discretely placed in most of the parks and streets throughout the City. Bring change for entry.
