Great...

Thankyou Laure and Marie for presenting such an informative video. Laure, your knowledge of the lives of these famous people is exemplary. So often I come across videos here on Utube where the person/narrator has absolutely no background knowledge of whatever subject the video is about...zip ! The only thing I have issue with is Marie's scrummaging around, then handling the small tokens people had left on the fortune teller's gravesite. Shows a lack of respect IMHO

Thank you for your interest, Laure is very educated indeed. As for the grave, we are sorry if you feel it that way, they don’t destroy or displace any of the items. There is much respect in the intentions of both our guides as we love the Cimetery and would not do anything to harm the place or its inhabitants.
Wonderful tour! I wish you ha included Isadora Duncan.

Hi Joy! Initially I wanted to include her too when I'm doing the tour with guests but unfortunately she's in the Crematorium as she wanted to be incinerated. So I show her slab by request only :)
Like the tour. Can you show once the grave of Marie Laforêt?

Well noted thank you 🙏
It's not a good idea to touch items on a grave. Also don't touch rituals found at Graves you don't know the intent behind it. Stones and coins left at a grave are a sign of remembrance and respect.

Exactly!
You talk about lockdown with no protection. No common sense. Get used to atmosphere because if you continue like this , your dream will come true.
