I would like to form a tour group of whom consists of the timid classmates of my SAP class *evil grin*. I would like to invite my lecturers like Ms Azie, Ms Aikal, Ms Lyana and perhaps Prof.Ghaz?? [but i don't wish to having heels and make-up during my trip =( ]

During travel? NO WAY!!!!

Most people wouldn’t include a cemetery on their list of things to do when visiting a new city, but Paris' Pere LaChaise is different. Some of the most expensive and coveted grave real estate in the world, Pere LaChaise is home to 70,000 dead, including some of the most famous artists, writers and musicians the world has ever known.

The graves of the famous dead include the American musician Jim Morrison, Irish author Oscar Wilde, and French writers Balzac and Proust. On your guided meander through this romantic labyrinth of stones, trees and paths, your guide will point out the famous graves and hidden eccentricities that make this famous cemetery so special.

Discover one of the greatest and most tragic love stories of all time - that of Heloise and Abelard, now buried side by side after long years of separation. As we pass Chopin’s tomb you can almost hear his best-known piece, the Funeral Dirge. Tourists also find the resting place of Molière, the famous French playwright.
