You mentioned that you had been looking for the grave of Robbie Ross. Actually, you found it. Ross had had a niche made for himself inside Wilde's tomb and requested that he be buried there. While he died in 1918, his request wasn't granted until 1950. So, the two of them are buried together.

I too went to see Oscar Wilde a few years back and had that spiritual moment with him. I love that you went and saw his gravesite. How wonderful.

Jordan, I’m so happy for you that you got to experience 75% of your bucket list on this grey day in Paris. So many of us will never get to say that. I am in awe for you. You make no apologies or regrets for Oscar within your respect for him and his life.✨🌟✨

Impressed with your intellect and curiosity. Can't think of another person who knows equally of Cobain and Wilde, as well as others. Your sensibility is refined and your passion is inspiring. Thank you.

Jordan thank you so much for this ! It was beautifully done. I watched the “Lillie” series & fell in love with the character of Oscar portrayed by Peter Egan. Oscar dared to be different back then & those who couldn’t handle it. I don’t understand about the leaves. I tried to zoom into the picture to see Oscar but I’m not sure if I did see him. It brought tears to my eyes as well as the bullying he took before he went to prison. Thank you also for showing us his resting place. The world back then wasn’t ready for Oscar. He paved the way for the lifestyle of those who prefer it. It took well over 100 years after his passing before accepting those who are different changed. Oscar was an original which will be er be duplicated. Here is to Oscar……❤

This was a very emotional video. Thanks for sharing with all of us. It's been great getting this Christmas-time tour.

Thank you for the tribute you paid to one of the greatest English-language writers ever, Oscar Wilde. I just read - for the umpteenth time - the only novella he ever wrote "The Picture of Dorian Gray" and that work is so good that it is actually a pity that, apart from countless beautiful poems and wonderful plays, he only wrote one novella. The great aesthete who did not avoid sarcasm but embraced it as a gem.

I LOVED The Picture of Dorian Gray! I read it when I was growing up and it was one my favorite books. Thank you for this. You had me in tears, I could tell you were chocked up.

The Irish have produced FOUR Nobel laureates in Literature . Firstly , George Bernard Shaw, then William Butler Yeats , Samuel Beckett and finally Seamus Heaney . Alfred Nobel's great prize was initiated in 1901 , shortly after Oscar Wilde's death in 1900. Had Wilde lived , he certainly would have certainly been awarded a Nobel Laureate . Truly , an extraordinary human being & a towering literary figure .

OSCAR WILDE WAS FABULOUS , WHETHER HE WANTED TO BE SO OR NOT , HE JUST WAS !

Beautiful video, thanks for sharing this! I’m so upset, I’ve been to Paris but that was before discovering Oscar who I am now totally obsessed with. I completely agree that he is one of the most brilliant and misunderstood people in history. Hope to go back to Paris one day and visit his grave.

As a long time Wilde fan, I must say you have outdone yourself with this great video. Your passion for and understanding of this great man comes through.....no small feat in a mere 30 minute video. ALSO, you did find Robbie Ross' resting place and did not realize it! When he had the monument designed, Ross had a small niche created just large enough for an urn. When he died, he was cremated and his ashes were interred in the niche......so Ross and Wilde are together for eternity.

Thank you for taking us viewers on your little journey....So sad the way he lived the last 3 years of his life

Jordan thank you for making this video. I’m planning a trip to Pere lechaise specifically to see Oscar and Robbie’s final resting place with a friend and she really didn’t understand why I wanted to go to a cemetery to see a writers tomb but I found your video and played it for her after telling her Oscar’s story but the emotion you showed while speaking of him I think convinced her it’s not just my crazy idea. She is now looking forward to going. Thank you.

I was able to visit the grave in the late 1990's and in the early 2000's. There was no glass around the grave then. The only graffiti I saw on the tombstone was the lipstick prints of queens who would apply a thick layer and kiss the sculpture on the stone, mostly on the genitals.

So pleased you got to see them. And next time you can do an Oscar Wilde day, with the hotel room and museum. I have never cried with your vlogs, but you had me in tears. You could hear the emotions in your voice, as you walked towards his resting place. Thank you again Jordan.

That cemetary! I have never seen it although I've been to paris a few times. So beautiful. And I downloaded The Best of Oscar Wilde, thank you Jordan.

Enjoyed joining you on your tour, really interesting and I know I shall never get to Paris to see his grave, so thank you for sharing that.

People used to put on lipstick then kiss the grave, which damages the stone over time. Back when I went to see the grave the glass was already in place, but there where also lipstick kisses on the glass. It *is* defacing but on the other hand there's a good chance he would have been surprised to know he was still THAT popular a century later

Jordan, I am so happy you got to go to Paris! Those sunglasses looked fabulous on YOU! If you have to give them away, get another pair like them/color for yourself. I was obsessed with Oscar Wilde myself; I did alot of research on him and his life. Dorian Gray was my favorite of all time. It is too bad you were not able to visit Jim Morrison also. it is amazing what you did do in just a day! Please be careful in your travels, its why movies like Hostel are made.

Wow this is amazing commentary and sharing the facts! I just watched a move about him and now I’m obsessed with learning about his life.

Thank you!! I love Oscar Wilde, quite the aesthete he was!! His witticisms are unmatched. Merlin Holland is his grandson. He was born over 40 years past Oscar's death.

I like your video man - Very insightful and an interesting take on what I've read about him - I like how you've explained this all - Thank you, well done!

Truly an amazing trip. Enjoyed it with you Jordan!!!

Great vlog! What a wonder walk through the streets of Paris and to see Oscar's grave. Such a sad story for a brilliant man to die so tragically. On a lighter note: Love the walking tour as you told us info on Oscar and was amazed to see the flowers still outside on the sidewalks in front of the store fronts. We'd try that here in MN, they'd be gone within minutes. Loved the ending with the Eiffel Tower , was a great to leave us with that image.

Great vlog Jordan. I could hear the appreciation in your voice while you visited the grave site. I would have went to see Jim Morrison's as well. However, I'm glad you got to do what you set out to do.

Very unique cemetery - beautiful - Fun day seeing Oscars' world through your eyes. I am moving - will not have internet for a bit - see you in two weeks - Looking forward to catching up on what I missed.

i loved this! i believe one of his contemporaries George Augustus Moore is my great grandfather.

I’m so glad you were able to check off something from your bucket list that is so important to you and that you’ve been wanting to do for such a long time.

Enjoyed the vlog immensely, so glad your got to check this off your bucket list,

I loved Oscar Wilde writing ...I read all his work

'Idiot' is not a fitting description. Better to use the phrase 'he was seduced by folly.' The folly of listening to Lord Alfred Douglas. Otherwise, a very worthwhile tour. Thank you.

Great stuff my man!! I just had to tell someone this that happenned to me on Friday. I have always heard his name. But for some reason Friday afternoon around 2pm I looked him up and watched the BBC documentary and movie "Wilde" and at the end of the Doc I see that he died 118yrs ago Friday from Cerebal Meningitis, something I beat after a month in the hospital when I was 4. I am 40 now. Woke up this morning and listening to his bio audiobook and find out he died at 2pm that day. Been having heath issues lately just got home and found out that my meningitis is back, but treatable. Crazy, there are things that we cannot understand going on this plane no doubt. Oscar Wilde buried 118 years ago today. God Bless You brother, stay safe.

Thank you so much Jordan, I would too choose to talk to him. I will always cry everytime when I think of me. I would love to talk to him and tell him how much we love him

So unfortunate that place wouldn't let you in... only 3 minutes late.. My heart was so disappointed for you. You handled it so well. You rock. Thanks!

Awesome blog, glad to see you had a blast. I think the closest I felt to that was seeing Bowie's old flat in Berlin, its such an amazing feeling!

Great job Jordan - you have a poets heart 👍

I visited in 2010, back then, It was covered with visitors' lipstick prints which I like. They give the grave so much characters and I think Wilde would approve of the lip prints. I hate how they have destroyed the 'decoration' . I had no idea they put glass over the grave until I watched your video. I hate it. I am so lucky that I visited it when it's so free and so close to the grave.

Kay UK.......I love Oscar Wilde....this was wonderfull..really touched me.........
