This is a belated post. We used Quinncy's camera when we visited Pere Lachaise, the largest cemetery in Paris. It was in the news earlier in the week, as the surviving members of the Doors were visiting Jim Morrison's grave, which is one of the main attractions at Pere Lachaise. Personally, I think that the grave-sites of Oscar Wilde and Chopin are more interesting. Here is Quinncy's photo of Morrison's grave:
One of the coolest tombstones in the cemetery belongs to poet George Rodenbach

There was a big unmarked mausoleum that had several coffins inside. I am thinking either masons or illuminati [I might have read to much Dan Brown].
We spent a few hours wandering through the cemetery, until Ella was tuckered out.
There was a fun bit of graffiti when we were leaving the cemetery:
