@user-hk6wk3iw8y I agree with you, it's so important to read their names, especially those that have become abandoned, they probably haven't had a visit for years. I believe it keeps their soul alive..if that makes sense

The cat is astounding, the same as the bird. Aides is nothing to play with! I had a friend of my mother, who passed away from it. But he would never push anything to anyone else. He was a real nice guy. Ty for part 2 of the tour. I do enjoy these videos. Tc and stay safe always.

Gustav Jundt: Painter. He moved to Paris from his birth place to study art at the Strasbourg studio of Gabriel Guerin. His major theme was landscapes often of Alsace. He exhibited regularly at the Paris Salon beginning in 1857, earning medals both in 1868 and 1873. He was awarded the Legion of Honor in 1880. He was also an illustrator and an etcher and completed a self portrait in 1883.

Most people mistake the grave sites for the actual number of interred in a cemetery, for instance Zentralfriedhof (Central Cemetery of Vienna) has 330,000 grave sites but there are actually 3 million people interred in this huge cemetery (actually the largest cemetery in Europe by the number of interred) along with the remains re-interred from the former burial grounds 🙂Because most of these grave sites are in fact ''grüfts'' (grave vaults in German) which are designed to receive dozens of coffins

@@Allan-hd1uh Mausoleums are ancient in France too. It was for the 'old famillies'. I think that a lot of them are in the Père Lachaise cemetery. Mausoleum, gigantic sculptures. A lot of celebrities are buried there since centuries. And some people of Louisiane who were living and died in Paris too. Marie-Céleste de Marigny de Mandeville (1784-1864), daughter of Bernard Marigny, the richest French planter and settler in Louisiana at that time who founded the Marigny suburb of New Orleans and the town of Mandeville. Marie-Céleste held a salon in Paris under the name of Marquise de Livaudais. Victor Séjour (1817-1874), native of New Orleans, first African-American writer in history, free man of color voluntarily exiled to France, protégé of Napoleon III, close to Victor Hugo and Alexandre Dumas père. Sebastian O'Farrill (1751-1820), Spanish nobleman who was governor of Louisiana from 1799 to 1801. Returning to his country, he was a fervent supporter of the invasion of Spain by Bonapartist troops and, after their defeat, took refuge in Paris. Norbert Rillieux (1806-1904) Free man of color born in New Orleans, cousin of the painter Edgar Degas. An engineer, he invented a process that revolutionized the production of cane sugar. He ended his career as principal of the Ecole Centrale. Judah Philip Benjamin (1811-1884), considered the "brains" of the Southern Confederacy, this Louisiana senator became minister of this state which had become secessionist. A rumor attributed to him a role in the assassination of Lincoln. He fled in Europe since the end of the civil war. Jean Soulié (1760-1834), originally from Castres (Tarn) was a director of the Bank of Louisiana and grand master of the Masonic lodge of this colony. He married the daughter of a slave there and returned to France when she died. Four of the children of this union, all free people of color, had successful professional careers. André-Denis Laffon de Ladebat (1746-1829), statesman, philanthropist and abolitionist, son of a Bordeaux shipowner who practiced the slave trade. In 1788 he published a “Discourse on the Necessity and Means of Destroying Slavery in the Colonies”. The family vault houses the remains of his brother Philippe Auguste Laffon de Ladebat, settler in Santo Domingo during the slave revolt who then spread to New Orleans and those of a collateral Charles Joseph Laffon de Ladebat, colonel of the French Brigade who defended New Orleans against the Northern fleet in 1862, during the Civil War.
