Jim Morrison's Grave
Jim Morrison, the legendary pop icon and front man for the Doors died while
living in Paris on July 3rd 1971. He was laid to rest in the Pere
Lachaise Cemetery. Paris’ largest cemetery and final resting
place of many famous artists, poets, and statesmen. There are diagrams
of the cemetery at each of the many entrances. However, navigating
through the Pere Lachaise can be confusing and frustration. The
cemetery is quite remarkable. There are thousands of trees amongst
thousands of elaborate tombs. Finding the grave of Jim Morrison
is no small task so plan on spending at least a few hours strolling
through the cemetery. Your best bet is to ask someone for directions.
If you still can’t find Jim Morrison’s grave, ask someone
else. The grave is one of the smaller ones although there are usually
groups of people around the site. There is graffiti marked on surrounding
graves and typically flowers along with candles or incense burning
on top the grave. Many make the pilgrimage to Jim Morrison’s
grave when visiting Paris. It has developed into a top Paris attraction.
