If you've been to a Paris cemetery, you might have seen curious collections of unusual objects on certain gravestones (especially celebrities like Jim Morrisson and Oscar Wilde).
You can find potatoes, chewing gum, Metro tickets, apples... and much more.
In this episode, Ana Gimena from LivTours breaks down some of the main offerings you can find on gravestones at Pere Lachaise and Montparnasse cemetery. For the full list, and pictures, click here. [This link will be added later - and will go to my blog post with the pictures.]
