Just a nitpick it’s not Père Lechaise as written in the title and in the pic but Père Lachaise. I know because I’m French and my dad is buried there.

Est-ce vrai ce qu'a dit Karl que les Parisiens prononcent le nom lachai et non comme il s'écrit? Question d'un québécois.
Good work as ever, Karl and team :D Your personal brand of humor remains highly appreciated for those videos.
I love that Karl brought the crew along with him ❤
I have gotten to the point where I’m just as excited for a new bio/geographics/Top Tenz video as I am for a SW new video. Quality work per usual Karl! Cheers

Simon just put him to double work in the basement, he now has to record videos in between writing the scripts 🤣
I love the content. French pronunciation needs work, my ears are recovering (slowly). And French is only my 3rd language…
This was another fantastic script! Karl please never change, always include cheesy jokes 🩵
I’m gonna get you a hand ball so your hands are occupied Karl as that table is going through abuse and I can’t keep ignoring these domestic situations through the mic.
Whoever steals a grave plaque or a headstone is not "a fan".
Keep up the good work karl! Hope you stay here! 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Informative thanks all at geographics
Love your video, facts and sarcasm!😂 Thank You!!!
We did the Rick Steves walking tour. Made for a great little scavenger hunt.
Amazing place, still in use, I could have spent days wandering around there.
The renting of burial plots is not uncommon in Europe due to lack of space. Now in the USA where we have lots of space if you want to dig up the dead you had better have a very good reason.
Can we do something about the constant drumming/vibration noise that seems to be coming up through the mic? It's getting annoying.

By the sounds of it the mic is attached to the table and every time he lifts his hands and puts them back down the mic is being vibrated ... but yes, annoying ... but not as annoying as the constant reminder of how his name is spelt 🤣
I remember visiting there in the early 2000s and even though I didn't wander too far (I visited Morrison) I absolutely loved it. I feel like cemetery planning should be an important part of city planning to create a gorgeous memorial park
Pretty sure you won't get Cuyahoga right, either. lol Thankfully, they've really cleaned the Cuyahoga up, as well as a lot of other rivers in the US
Definitely worth checking out if you have the luck to visit Paris, I went on a rainy day. It always rains whenever I'm at a funeral or cemetery. 🤷
James Morrison's lease runs out in 2025 and the cemetery has no plans to renew it, but neither do they have any plans to remove the body.
Also. Mountainview in Vancouver, Canada where I was born, raised, grown up ,groan old hassa Jeeish Quarter, a East Asian Quarter, one for fallen soldiers of any sex, race,religion. We all come from one place and we go another. Contemplate and remember the m all for we shall all meet each other, in the end.
Pere Lachaise is so beautiful, especially in Autumn.

You don't know what your missing. 😂
Geographics can you do more space videos
You do pronounce the the S in French.
I wonder how many hours it would take to cover all individuals who are at least moderately-well-known, and are interred in Pere-Lachaise, on Biographics 😆
24:13 I’m afraid to say that I had the “down the toilet” idea too
Who did the opening of the video?
I love how karl spends a lot of time aching over the pronunciation of Pere LeChaise and then in the same video pronounces Louis Lou-iss.
Yes ! Can't say enough about you and your team. If you ever get there, scatter some rose petals, randomly. Whoever we think we are we all end up in the same pkace. Highgate, North London is also worrh a visit to contemplate on one owns mortality and wonder about the ones that have gone before. Sorry, if I sound morbid. I don't hangaround graveyards, habitually ! There's still money in fresh cadavers, though !
Thank you.
Pere Ubu; Icon of Cleveland 😊
I'm confused about the ad comments. I have a finger that i can easily place on the video timeline to bypass the ad, so what is the issue? You choose to watch??? Or you go beyond. Not judgment, but I don't understand.
Because there's an E after the S , you DO pronounce the S... for future reference purposes. Otherwise, you did a pretty good job with the French pronunciations 😊
😮 4:40 chez ain't 'shezz'. Even schoolboy French gets it as 'shay', just days into learning the basics. How long did the due diligence take? If only the internet had pronunciation aids available.
F*n brill ! The bouncing off of wits of all the crew !
Karl. Could be worse. Your first name could be Justin. Now _that_ would be funny. Smallwood, btw, a beloved Canadian provincial premier RIP.
It's pronounced "pear lah-shez" with the z sound. But I appreciate your efforts ❤
Ummmm you play limbo weird if you're going backwards
Isn't it pere LAchaise?
Second longest ad behind monstee right?
Another ad over 4 minutes. Def skipping that over 10% of the video nope-fest

Agreed, I understand the unfortunate necessity of the ads for the channel to be successful and turn out good content but a 4-5 min ad makes me want to stop watching the Channel and avoid the company that forced such a waste of time ad read. 60 seconds is more then enough time to sell the company and what it’s selling. Worse case a 90 second ad would be bearable just not every video.

Your sentence construction suggests someone who skipped paying attention in class in addition to the aforementioned advertisement read.
2 horrendously unfunny ads. At least 20 French names that the Psris police are now investigating due to their horrific murdered pronunciation.

@@wethujonga8681this is not a channel Simon owned. There was some sort of disagreement with the owner. Simon is focussing on his own channels. Karl is fine. The long ads need to go. Especially when in the middle of the channels ads you tube shoves in an ad.
Good content as far as the history of the cemetery, but Oh! My ears are bleeding from the mangled French pronunciation, particularly after the long claim of researching the pronunciation. Père LaChaise is pronounced more like pear la shez. There is no hard CH sound in French. It is always like SH and the ai sounds more like the soft e sound in English. Egalité does not sound like eagle-ite, but more like egg Al ee tay. Just plug questioned words into Google Translate and listen to the pronunciation. That won't always be perfect, but it will be correct most of the time, and closer the rest of the time.
Love the content but basic French pronunciation needs work.
The first minute and 40 seconds are useless
Painful to listen to french pronunciations arrgh!
