i just got back yesterday, actually 3 this morning, from paris. went to the grave wednesday the 26th of july 2023. it was hard to find. bumped into a family from new jersey who kindly let me join them as we searched. i got to throw a rose to the edge of his grave. it was surrounded by a fence. it was a beautiful sunny day and other people were there on a tour of the cemetary. we were told that jim's grave is the most visited.

Do you know what frustrates me, the fact that there are so many people in the past that destroyed Jim’s grave and they’ve now had to resort to putting a fence around it. And to those people who originally stole the bust that was on his tombstone that is just disgraceful😢

Was für ein fürchterlicher Friedhof, welch trauriges Grab. Eingepfercht und ungepflegt. Nur …weil soo viele Besucher kommen wird es nicht schöner. Ich finde diese Grabstätte würdelos. Frage mich ohnehin warum ihn damals seine Familie nicht nach Hause geholt hat. Armer Jim..du hättest ein wunderschönes Grab verdient. Vielleicht mit dem Bildnis welches du so sehr verehrt hast.

I heard his epitaph translates to “TRUE TO HIS OWN SPIRIT” but Google translate has, “AGAINST THE DEMON WITHIN THYSELF”. For such a strait laced father that Morrison had, that is a great fiting epitaph.

Back in the 2000s the 30 year lease on Jim's plot ran out not to burst anyone's bubble but he's not in there. The French government payed for a life time lease AKA forever. but moved him so he can rest in peace under one of his alias,s. That's just for fan's and tourism The lease running out is public record.

@rolandlastname5532 9 ай бұрын

Life time is not the jargon for a grave in case you are dead :-) Many graves at Pere Lachaise have inscripted: license perpetuelle, that is what you mean. The 30 year lease should have expired a few days after 3 july 2001. But are you sure his remains are moved? That would not make sense to me. Any clue as moved to where? By the way, the tomb of Oscar Wilde nearby has more protection: a 2 m tall solid glass wall all around, provided by the City of Paris

@mben-david2064 8 ай бұрын

The lease was re-designated in 2001, 30 years after he passed. He is now the permanent and sole owner/ resident of that plot. You're what the French call " Le Imbecile".
