...and Géricault's grave:

An outline of The Raft of the Medusa is engraved at the statue's base. Tell the children that the artist died when he was only 34 and that his students financed the sculpture.

The Père Lachaise* cemetery is meditative, not sad. The d
ramatic heights, vegetation, flowered graves, tombs of famous people and storytelling sculptures call out to young imaginations.

* Named after Louis XIV's confessor, who lived on its hill.

On weekends "Vito" sells copies of his amiably ironic drawings...
