I went and visited Jim in 1995 . A long time ago . I was 21 years old . There was no fence back then and there was a policeman keeping guard at his grave . The maps all had his name scratched off all over the cemetery but it wasn't hard to find . Beautiful cemetery and I hope to go back one day .

I've lived right across the cemetery for a few years (born & bred parisian). Always a special place for a walk no matter the weather. Also a cat paradise!

American actress Olivia de Havilland ("Gone With the Wind") died in 2020 at the age of 104 and is interred there in Pere Lachaise Cemetery as well.

Even after 52 years Jim Morrison is still a polarizing figure in death. I am a huge doors fan and visiting his grave is on my bucket list. Awesome video

I always love the cemetary walks. The art. The architecture. The peace.

What a beautiful cemetery, looks gothic (my favorite). I love all of the crypts and that street that is the most photographed. So many gorgeous graves and crypts, I may watch this again and again! Thank you!

So I did a bit of research on some of the tombs you visited Etienne Robertson @4:25 1767-1836 Belgian Physicist Paul Baudry @7:18 1828-1886 French Painter Victor Noir @14:34 1848-1870 French Journalist Im so glad that Jess didn't kiss him. Ya never know what the ladies have done to his face 😅 Victor Ségoffin @18:15 1867-1925 French Sculptor Georges Rodenbach @20:30 1855-1898 Belgian poet and novelist Antione d'Andre @23:15 1739-1825 French loyalist politician Mano Solo @23:38 1963-2010 French singer Eugène Scribe @23:45 1791-1861 French dramatist and librettist Louis-Sébastien Gourlot 1778-1816 @24:00 Very little is known him, but his grave depicts his wife mourning his loss

OMG I''VE ALWAYS WANTED TO VISIT JIM MORRISONS GRAVE! dont understand why people would direspect anyones tombstone by scratching words into it. Thank you for taking us there.

I'm pleasantly surprised to see how many people are still coming to see Jim's finale resting spot. He made a huge ripple in the waters of life that continues to touch generation after generation. It's to bad his time on earth was so finite. Thank you for the experience as always Grimm Life!

What an amazingly beautiful cemetery. You both never disappoint! Much respect to the both of you!

Love this cemetery. Iconic. So many respected and talented people buried there. Morrison, Oscar and Maria Callas, the Opera singer was and then her ashes scattered at sea. Chopin too but his heart was removed and buried where he was born, I believe. Fantastic video!!!! Maybe I'm weird but I love visiting cemeteries and learning of their histories. Happy Halloween to my favorite couple🕷🎃🖤🖤

visited pere lachaise in 2006, and it was a beautiful, if haunting place. i was really impressed with how much edith piaff clearly means to the people of france, as the tomb was immaculately well preserved, with flowers and trinkets adorning it with love.

I've been too Jim Morrison grave 4 times. Great job Michael and Jessica happy Halloween

Bit of a latecomer to the Grimmlifecollective but have been impressed by the fact that they don't rest on their laurels and visit locations that their contemporaries frankly do not visit. Too many just go over the same old film locations and the same theme parks in the States....and we all know who they are right! But with the Grimms its the dog suicide bridge near Glasgow one week then its the locations to Nosferatu or Suspiria in Germany the following weeks. They are absolutely ahead of the pack in originality and are two likeable ,articulate people who are passionate and respectful about movies , real life crime and music. Really impressed by the research that must go into the videos and in the style it's being presented. Always good to catch up after a rubbish day at work so thanks for your superb body of work!!

I discovered The Doors in the early 80's when i was younger and I have always been intrigued by Jim Morrison. I believe he was ahead of his time and highly misunderstood and it was such a waste him passing at such a young age although I also believe he was tormented by his own creativity and thoughts.

I went from Australia to visit Jim in 1991 when I was 23. It was -10° but we ventured out on a mission! There were no other people there and no fence back then. My friend, Caroline, and I sat there and drank whiskey and listened to Doors on tape, pouring some into his grave. The cemetery is absolutely massive - you could spend a day there - and full of famous people. Napoleon had the cemetery built and actually had a lot of the famous people moved there from other cemeteries as he wanted the best cemetery in Europe. The artwork of the graves and the architecture of the mausoleums is mind blowing!

Oh, I thought you guys were gonna visit François-Vincent Raspail's grave, the statue of which has been made famous by the Dead Can Dance. But thank you so much for visiting Chopin, his heart belongs to us, literally. 🙂 Best wishes from Poland! 🇵🇱🇺🇸

Beautiful cemetery, just WOW.

Makes me sad to see that people have defaced the area by Jim Morrison's grave .I love these cemetery explores in Europe

That is one of the most beautiful cemeteries I’ve ever seen. I think Forest Lawn is so beautiful too 🪦❤

I was there with a friend back in 1996 or 1997. We had a drink at Jim's grave. There was no fence back then.

I've never seen a video about this cemetery, well-documented as it is, filmed as beautifully and respectfully as this one. Thank you! I enjoyed every second of it.

Glad you two made it to Père Lachaise, it's a Mystical and beautiful cemetery full history. We loved it when we explored. BTW those chairs in the vaults are called kneelers to pray. Great video grims 👍❤️

That cemetery has one of two criteria to be buried there: either have been born in Paris or died in Paris.

It is a bittersweet feeling to know that Jim Morrison's funeral service lasted only 8 minutes and that no one stayed around to witness his full burial. However, the fact that his grave has become one of the most visited brings me comfort that his fans haven't left him.

It's hauntingly beautiful

We have finally arrived! Mr. Morrison has been patiently waiting for you two, hearing of the famous Grimm Life Collective from all the others, in the afterlife. You two have fulfilled Jim’s eternal checklist. He now can finally rest in peace!

I visited Jim’s grave in 2006. Pere Lachaise is an amazing cemetery with so many famous historical figures and artists. Excited to watch this one! Happy Halloween 🎃 🖤 💚

I was 9 when Morrison passed. I remember hearing Riders on the storm on the radio in my moms car when I was a kid. I didn’t become a fan of the doors til I was in my 20’s. I still love the doors. Morrison was hot! If I was older I probably would have been one of his groupies and might have been lucky enough to sleep with him. LOL a lady can only dream. My sister visited that cemetary and took pics of Morrisons grave for me. I had them but now I have no idea where they went. There was a bust of Morrison but I think I read somebody had stolen it. I saw the Doors movie and read every book I could find of Morrison and the Doors. R.I.P Lizzard King and hopefully I can finally get to meet him in heaven.

This is by far one of the coolest places I’ve ever been to in my life…absolutely amazing in every aspect. My wife & I spent about 5 hours roaming around & hadn’t seen a but a small fraction of what was there…we were so disappointed they closed early. If we had more time we would’ve come back & spent a few days there. So wonderfully peaceful & the tombs/statues were AMAZING 🤩. So glad you both had a chance to experience that. Hope you hit the Catacombs while you’re there too! You can tour where Nostradamus lived & wrote his quatrains, where Marie Curie lived, the Rodin museum is breathtaking with the Gates of Hell door (which was inspiration for Devil’s Advocate movie with Al Pacino), the Picasso museum, the Louvre, Versailles isn’t far & a quick train ride! I could go on for hours about how fantastic Paris is & the macabre stuff is sweet!

I was at Père Lachaise Cemetery, in 1996, Paris then was beautiful, walking around Paris was a delight. I saw Jim Morrison's grave, where 2 Gendarme's were guarding Jim's grave, the bust was stolen, I think in 1971, soon after Jim was buried. There was Oscar Wilde's, Chopin, Sarah Bernhardt, Edith Piaf, Samuel Becket's graves, and other's, the only spoiler was Oscar Wilde's huge tombstone had graffiti on it🙄 Went to Jim Morrisons apartment, opposite was a bar where Jim frequented, it had his leather jacket, and other artifacts, blessed memories😀

Wow....just wow! Between this cemetery and Highgate, very beautiful!! I felt the same when I visited St. Louis #1 (and #3) in New Orleans, just on a smaller scale.

I love graveyards.... They are so beautiful..

While you are in Paris go visit the gates of hell at the Rodin museum. And also the catacombs tour. You won’t regret it

That cemetery looks like something out of, "Interview with a Vampire". Very cool.

It's wonderful that you visit Pere Lachaise, the most famous cemetery in Paris, with the graves of Jim Morrison and my compatriot Fryderyk Chopin! Greetings from Poland !

I'm really loving these videos from Europe. ❤ Georges Rodenbach was a brilliant Belgian writer, and worth a Google for anyone who isn't familiar with his work.

Another beautiful place. Thanks for showing Chopin’s grave. The great Polish composer and pianist.

My mother was born and raised in France during the occupation. Long story. The beauty of the art in so many mediums around France is simply second to none. Especially Paris. Even Hitler loved it so much he allowed the Treatise to be signed just south of Bordeaux on a train with SS Officer's. There my mother was held captive until she was freed by her brother who was French Resistance. My Grand'Mere' was given a choice of concentration camp or making munition's in Berlin as there was too few people left there. Such history. All the armies of the world have walked beneath the Arc' du Triumphe' and down the Champs Elysees...yet Paris stands. I cried when Norte' Dame' burned. Praise God I saw her in all her beauty before it did. Love you guys and thanks. BTW my mother could sing La Vie en Rose just as if Miss Pilaf herself were there, and yes I cried...

Good morning from Gatlinburg TN Smoky Mountains Grimms! I hope you two have a wonderful Christmas! My 50th birthday is Jan 2...If you have a moment to say hi, you'd make my day! I watch you guys at night, after i work, film, close the gym and relax3😂😂😂.. ⛄⛄⛄

What a surreal cemetery. I can’t even imagine how much more beautiful it is in person. Thank you for sharing.

❤❤Dearest Grimm. So,beautiful. Desolate sweet cemetery. Gorgeous tombs and statuary. Wonderful to see Jim and Edith. And sweet Oscar. I have lived many lifetimes in France. Enchanting. L❤ve you❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Bonjure from America. Paris, France is so beautiful. Happy Halloween 🎃🎃🎃🎃👻👻👻👻

This place is absolutely beautiful!! I know people think I’m crazy but I find most cemeteries to be so peaceful. I live close to Sleepy Hollow and visit there when I can (another beautiful cemetery). Thanks to you and Jessica for another great video. Happy Holidays!😊

Okay, I have a meeting at 2pm…… and I am going to see if we can watch this as a team building exercise. 😂. Wish me luck

I’m thrilled that you actually filmed my great great great grandfather’s tomb @ 23:44 Luigi Cherubini (the Goddess of Music is crowning him with a wreath on his head)! My relative was Napoleon’s court composer who wrote many operas and was best friends with Beethoven! Awesome video! 🤘😉

☮️☮️☮️ RESIDENTS OF PERE LACHAISE ☮️☮️☮️. 🌹🌹🌹

Haha, yes the video I've been waiting for. Knew you spooks would visit it. ❤

When I was there, I was alone. There were only a couple other people in the entire cemetery. It took me about 45 minutes of wandering through the labyrinths to finally find Jim’s grave site. It was just Jim and I and it was quiet. I’ll never forget.

Fascinating vlog. The artwork of cemetery stones and mausoleum’s in these places is deeply moving. Thanks for the tour.

Rock on Grimm💜🖤🎥🤟 great video!!

I have lived more than 10 years in Paris, and yet i had never been to Père Lachaise... And so a few weeks back i finally took my journey in this mazy cemetery, there was so much to look at 🤯

We visited the Catacombs of Paris but never stopped by the cemetery. Excellent video, I appreciate the attention and respect you give to these amazing works of art. Your videos never fail to amaze me. Thank you.

One day I'd love to visit the grave of Jim D. Morrison ♥

What a beautiful intro for this video! It is a wonderful resting place. All statues are amazing to watch. My respect to all people buried there ✝ As always you made an remarkable work Michael. Thank you both. Happy Halloween. Merry Christmas to you and Jessica 🎄

I’m from France I’ve been following you guys for years ☺️❤

What an incredible cemetery! The details on everything are beautiful and grand. I would honestly buy a book if it had pictures of all the statuary there.

What a beautiful cemetery. It's like an art gallery. Thank you for sharing. I have always wanted to see the cemetery in Barre Vermont. Love your videos! ♥️💀♥️

❤ Dear Grimm. L❤ve the Chopin music. Wonderful to see his grave. L❤ve the fertility tomb. Beautiful shot of the raven and rose stone. Your European travels are so enchanting. L❤ ve you❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I was lucky enough to visit this place years ago. So beautiful

Awesome video, Awesome place. I went December 5th 1996 as I went to Paris, solo as a warm up trip to see how I could handle flying, as I was going to the USA in 1997. Bear in mind this was before smartphones existed. So I only had a guide book and the noticeboards with the map on them to guide me. The first impression when walking through the main gate is how vast the place is. I just thought how am I finding Jim Morrison in here. The feeling in the force was telling me to go right. So I followed the path, the graffitti, spotted the guard, telegraph pole, the group of people that's it! So I didn't go over I just wandered around for most of the day. Went back to the same spot later, but came from a different direction. Guard must have been on a break. So I'm in the middle of the graves, couldn't find him. Then I just happened to look down. He was right in front of me. It wasn't barricaded off then. So I had a few minutes on my own there. So I left an incense cone and a poem on the stone, it got cleared hours later as that was the rule. A few others turned up, I left, very cool place to visit very peaceful.

Robbie Ross died in 1918 aged 49 and in 1950, on the 50th anniversary of Oscar's death, an urn containing Robbie's ashes was placed inside the Wilde tomb; the two friends together for eternity.

Thank you for covering Jim's grave. RIP Lizard King.

You are right it’s something beautiful beyond words. I’m 42 and loved visiting cemeteries since I was a kid. I used to go to a cemetery at night and sleep there when both my parents got drunk and started fighting on the weekends. Despite hearing ghosts and seeing one and he actually sat there and spoke to me then got up and just disappeared, I was never afraid. I’d spend a couple days at this cemetery just taking in all the art and details. Imagining the lives of all those souls.

(i'm french from Normandy) My mother and i went to Père Lachaise couples a days before you, we can see in the video the candle that we placed on Edith Piaf's grave. For me it's the most beautiful cemetery i have ever seen. I hope you enjoy your trip in France 😊 (hope my english is good ahah)

❤✌🏼☯️ Love the cemetery. 🍂🎃🔥🖤 Great video as always. 💯

I was so hoping you would find your way there! 💝

Amazing how something Morbid, yet still hold something Beautiful. The Art and Architecture of these old cemeteries are Beautiful. I lived in New England, specifically Rhode Island for 13 years. Some of the Cemeteries have dates going back to the mid 1600's. The Art and Achitecture to me was Amazing, Beautiful and just appealing to me. Enough to make me want to explore the Cemeteries there. I would just be all over it if I was there in Old Engaland, France and surrounding territories.

Wow!! The opening for this video was amazing!! Another beautiful place I could wander through all day!! Awesome stuff, Michael and Jessica!! Happy...Halloween!!! 💚🪦🥰

OMG!! Thank you both for this amazing video!! Merry Christmas! 💝🎃💝

This is like the picturiqse cemetery from movies. Truly beautiful with how everything has aged and slightly overgrown now giving that drearyness. Thankyou for this

I'm going in June 2024!! I'm so excited ❤! How wonderful to get this video. Very special share!

I swear your tour through Europe brought out the most amazing places! The beauty in the architecture! Truly nothing quite like it here! Add this video to every one of your videos I will continuously watch over and over and over! Holy heckens just so much awe and beauty! Thank you as always besties! ❤

Hi I'm Matteo from Italy. I was there last year with Nico Claux (the Vampire of Paris). I bought some art from him (a painting of Charlie Manson and one of Richard Ramirez) and I contacted him for a visit to Père-Lachaise and it was a wonderful day. A little bit rainy and he even tells us he slept there a few nights when he was younger..what a great day!

Very interesting and beautiful cemetery! And the details in some of those monuments are incredible! Thanks for Sharing!!!

I love it! We were there in 2019. So beautiful. I wish I made KZfaq videos then film more of it. Glad you made it there 😎✌️

I would NEVER BURY a family member in a creepy Cemetery like this. Thank you for sharing.

"Yeah I went there." Ha! Good for you! Pretty incredible place.

Until this amazing vlog, I didn't realize how wildly close our graveyards in New Orleans are to those in Paris. VERY cool trip. Thank you so much for taking us with you. Edited to say I know for sure I'd weep upon seeing both Chopin's (my favorite composer) and Wilde's graves. Just breathtaking.

Thank you ❤ I’ve wanted to see this cemetery for a long time due to Oscar Wilde being buried here. Beautiful 😍

This is truly amazing seeing this it's absolutely amazing

After all the videos and documentaries I've viewed of Jim Morrison and that cemetery you all just took the title.. Thanks a million.. Awesome Work!!

What a great video guys. Love this ❤

The statuary is exquisite. Jaw dropping. Thank you both for showing us this magnificence.

Crazy cool cemetery!!! The Grimms Rock Paris!

The Awesomeness Continues!! 👊✊😊 Another Awesome Episode Like Usual. 😆👍🍁 RIP Jim 😔

thankyou jessica and michael! your gravesite videos are my favorite favorite favorite!!! there is something about the way u narrate, your voice, the music u use that makes it so peaceful and serene! 🖤💛🖤

I find cemeteries very comforting. I know that probably sounds very weird to many, but I feel you and Jessica understand me. Thanks Grimm for another well documented vid.

Thank you. I'll never get to see the Lizard kings grave, so I appreciate it! What an amazing place....

You both bring a sense of calmness and tranquility to every video.

The statues are simply exquisite ! thank you for sharing always!

Simply beautiful. Rewatching to absorb it all again. Thank you! 🪦

❤Père Lachaise❤Thanks for going. It was a highlight of my trip to Paris.

Wonderful tour! I believe “the old chair” in the one mausoleum is a “prayer kneeler” used to kneel down upon to pray… Note where the old upholstered section which was padded for the knees has rotted away and the wide top rail (called a “ crest rail) was used for the elbows or forearms while in prayer. These are still used today in churches, monasteries and convents. ✝️

Oscar Wilde's tomb is so unique and wild looking! I hope to visit this cemetery one day. Looks phenomenal! Edit: "The David Bowie Labyrinth bulge" 🤣🤣

Love this!!! So jealous I wanna see Jim Morrison’s grave

Hahaha this very special French *eyebrow raised* grim adventure....great

I visited Pére Lachaise back in 1984. Jim Morrison's grave had a bust of him on top of the back then, and the area around his grave was littered with empty wine bottles and butts. Oscar Wilde was buried without that large monument on it, and an admirer paid to have that created for his grave in the 1920s or 30s.

Your correct , the emotional levels from the statue's are " different". Enjoyable adventure.

Bucket List. I was in Paris in 1984 and missed this cemetery and the Louve.
