Hi I was just there June 2, 2023. Your video was right on and made it easy to get to. One update: they do not give out physical maps anymore you would have to download an app to see the plots. Also barricaded now because of vandalism. But so worth it to go.
That was great and thank you so much!!!! I’ve always wanted to go to Paris just to visit Jim Morrison’s grave site!!!! I once told a friend that I’d would actually fly to Paris, visit Jim Morrison and hop on a flight back!!!! Still, it would be nice to experience Paris as a whole and its unique culture…
Hey +MoulfritProd I will be in Paris for the first time soon, and these directions are great. The video really gives me a great visual for how to get there. Many thanks. I took the time to type out the directions from your video so I could follow off-line, and wanted to post them here if anyone else needs. How to get to Jim Morrison's grave at the cemetery "Le Pere Lachaise" in Paris: - Entrance to Cemetery on Boulevard de Menilmontant, at the end of Rue de La Roquette. - (The two closest metro are Pere Lachaise and Philippe Auguste, both on the Metro Ligne 2) - Walk up the main alley until the first intersection - At the intersection, make a right turn on Avenue du Puits - Walk towards the administration building on your right - To get a map, make a right and go around the building. - Go through the door to the tourist office and ask for a map. - Once you have the map, go back around the building and continue up (right) - Avenue du Puits turns into Avenue Casimir Perier - Keep walking up to the roundabout (green/grass round about with large square statue - seen in video) - You are now at the road/sign "Rond Point Casimir Perier 14th DIVISION" bear right at the first exit of the round-about and continue to the next intersection, Make a right on to "Chemin Lauriston 16 DIVISION" (as easily seen in the video) - Walk until you get to the "Y" intersection - At the "Y" bear left, You're almost there! - See all those people on the right? A tree and a metal fence will be in front of you, That's where Jim Morrison is resting. - The walk is about 2.7 km / 1.7 mi Sending love
Thank you so much for posting the directions! However, it was just a 5 min walk and not 2.7 km.. Just wanted to mention it because thinking it's 2.7 km might prevent someone from visiting the grave
Thank you so much for your video, your guide to the Jim's Grave was very helpful. When I was walking down this old brick pavement, I felt like I had already been there... p.s. And thanks once more for suggestion where to get Cemetery map, it really helped me to find other famous last resting places. I didn't expect to find this strolling so inspiring, cause I'm not Grave wanderer person...
thanks a lot.... i emotion myself with this video... i have never been to paris.. I hope one day will be there, but your video is so emotional...that i feel like if i was there
The music really sets the melancholic vibe, We miss you Jim, and hope to meet you in the afterlife. Why fear death? When life hurts more,When you die the pain is over..
thanks a lot. I have been there for 3 times, the first in 1988. I dindín know how l got there, but l did. Anyway each time it is difficult, you never remember well the way. This video is very useful and clear!!! great emotion!!!
Tried so hard and couldn't find it. Wish I'd watched this video before my visit. Did stumble across the tomb of Edith Piaf, though, so not a wasted visit!
wanna do it faster?????? Just Follow the empty bottles look to the best smoke cloud of the graveyard . So many tears rainning here night and day............
yeah I visited with a buddy from high school back in 1986. then it was open and free to go up to. lots of girls from Sorbonne university sunbathing topless. ahhhh paris!
parents couldn't afford the costs to repatriate and the French gov didn't care. but amazing he got a place in such a historical place. in a place like paris they normally grind yur bones and put it in dog food. it is only a marker no real body or remains are actually there according to paris coroner report. look it up
Thanks for the video BUT the distance from the metro station Philippe Auguste, is 5 minutes walk from the metro station to the cemetery gate and 5 more minutes from the cemetery gate to the grave. That's the reality, because I have read here, that the distance is about 3 kilometers from the gate to the grave.
Very good video to help people find the grave of a dead drug addict, who died at 27 years old, probably not someone who should be admired or any kind of role model, unless you're a junkie. His death was presumed to be an "accidental heroin overdose", but I suspect the heroin didn't ACCIDENTLY just magically fall into his arm... I suspect it was INTENTIONALLY put there. What a sad ending for a beautiful and talented person, who was beyond stupid. 27 years old. Wow.
Do you always completely tear down addicts? Addiction is no joke,.mental illness is also no joke Jim was definitely suffering from depression and used alcohol to self medicate. Nobody knows what happened that night, not even the rest of the band, chill
@Vic Vega yes, I always make fun of dead junkies, who got what was expectjunkie. Not to act fake surprised at his young suicide. No one forced him to be a hunkie.
I guess you are a FLAWLESS person...you are just PERFECT and have done NO WRONG...EVER...I think NOT. You are a COMPLETE and UTTER IDIOT and VERY JUDGEMENTAL of others. You are the one BEYOND STUPID. Jim has a very high IQ..is very intelligent and when he spoke, just the way he spoke would blow people's minds..Was and surely still is very wise..yes, he made bad choices, but, do you think he could have sung and performed like he did, had the intellect he did, the creativity he had, the poetry writing he produced...DO YOU THINK HE COULD HAVE ACHIEVED ALL THAT, if he was so out of it, like the movie portrays...I DON'T THINK SO. His band members knew him better than anyone and they have said multiple times that Jim was gentle, quiet..everything I say later in this comment..also that the movie assassinated Jim, because that is NOT who Jim really was....so, SHUT THE HELL UP...Like the IDIOT producer Oliver Stone of The Doors movie, you morons only focus on the negative things of Jim. That was not who Jim is. Like every other human in the world, he had his troubled side and he had his good side, but, you just focus on what he did wrong or how he lived his life. Why don't you watch some of the documentaries, listen to interviews, watch videos of the other side of Jim. The gentle side of him, the FRIENDLY side of him, the PEACEFUL side of him, that just loves to be one with nature...going for walks through nature by himself, sitting by a water's edge, just taking in everything around him, the PLAYFUL and CHILDLIKE side of him. So, yeah, he IS someone to look up to, someone to admire. He is HIMSELF...NEVER TRIED OR TRIES to be someone he is NOT..Isn't fake, like you surely are. Everyone in this world has flaws, INCLUDING YOU, especially for being so judgemental of others. Take the time to see the whole picture, instead of focusing on part of it. Jim IS more of a person to be admired, then you could EVER be. I very much admire Jim and I am NOT a junkie...I do not drink, have never smoked cigarettes, never done drugs of any kind and I GREATLY ADMIRE Jim. He is an inspiration to so many. As messed up as Jim could be, people see he is HIMSELF and doesn't try to be anything but himself and people have been changed by Jim Morrison. And, I speak of him in the PRESENT, because, to myself and many, Jim is very much alive. There was NEVER any solid PROOF of him passing and WHY people and especially his family, just took the word of his girlfriend and some Dr., is just beyond me. Especially his family...Who in the hell, would just take a couple people's word, that their son is gone, without wanting to see the proof...who does this? Many people have lived Jim's lifestyle and yet they are still around today. A lot of people like that, cheat death and to me, Jim is one of those people. He is out there somewhere in this world, living the life he always wanted, enjoying the peace and solitude he always has loved and being away from JERKS like yourself. I guess you think you should be admired by people, because you are just so perfect...RIGHT? It is people like you that are so easy to cast stones at others and down them, because YOU ARE INSECURE WITH YOURSELF AND LIFE.When the day comes, that you are PERFECT, well, then let us all hear from you then. Guess what, we will NEVER be hearing from you, because you aren't perfect and never will be...just a PERFECT ASS!!
He wasn’t a junkie, he was an alcoholic which is just as life destroying. A brilliant singer and musician but I feel rock star wasn’t the best path for him. He’d have been better off as a poet.
This is so helpful. My friend and I are going there at the end of Oct. Im horrible with maps. with your video it looks quite straight forward. Thanks!
Hi I was just there June 2, 2023. Your video was right on and made it easy to get to. One update: they do not give out physical maps anymore you would have to download an app to see the plots. Also barricaded now because of vandalism. But so worth it to go.

- Walk until you get to the "Y" intersection
- At the "Y" bear left, You're almost there!
- See all those people on the right? A tree and a metal fence will be in front of you, That's where Jim Morrison is resting.

Laura good job ! 👌
It's okay kid I am not there......Last words out.
Thank you so much for posting the directions! However, it was just a 5 min walk and not 2.7 km.. Just wanted to mention it because thinking it's 2.7 km might prevent someone from visiting the grave
@@fani6379 That's the reality. 10 minutes walk only from the station to the grave.
Thank you so much for your video, your guide to the Jim's Grave was very helpful. When I was walking down this old brick pavement, I felt like I had already been there...
p.s.
And thanks once more for suggestion where to get Cemetery map, it really helped me to find other famous last resting places. I didn't expect to find this strolling so inspiring, cause I'm not Grave wanderer person...
Glad I could help!
:)
thanks a lot.... i emotion myself with this video... i have never been to paris.. I hope one day will be there, but your video is so emotional...that i feel like if i was there
Thankyou your video took me straight to the lizard king last August
Many thanks once again
The music really sets the melancholic vibe, We miss you Jim, and hope to meet you in the afterlife. Why fear death? When life hurts more,When you die the pain is over..
thanks a lot. I have been there for 3 times, the first in 1988. I dindín know how l got there, but l did. Anyway each time it is difficult, you never remember well the way. This video is very useful and clear!!! great emotion!!!
great video! i wish i had this on hand when i went. on a brighter note, i met the nicest people who helped me find it.
wow, that has changed, went there in '94, there was graffiti all the way indicating the way to the grave and you could go right up to the grave itself
Thank you so much for this, it’s so difficult to find, the site is huuuuuuggge!! And your right when you say the maps are useless
Excellent video and helped me find it there no problem. That music is quite brilliant too
AMAZING !! RIP JIM
THE LIZARD KING
Extremely helpful, well done. many thanks
Thanks for uploading this , it's like a Maze !!! nice one
Very hard to find it.. But I think he deserved a bigger and more central point to be.. And a more fascinating grave as well
Tried so hard and couldn't find it. Wish I'd watched this video before my visit. Did stumble across the tomb of Edith Piaf, though, so not a wasted visit!
The maps they give you are useless!
That's a jolly tune for a cemetary tour.😱😊
Thanks so much. The standing map led me past it, and it’s kinda warm right now lol
whats the name of the song in this video? and thanks for posting this. I plan to go next month
The song is Dream Land by The 126ers. It is available free on TH-cam's Audio Library
Please tell me , what sound in the video? Thanks.
I will go there next december! Thanks 😊
wanna do it faster??????
Just Follow the empty bottles look to the best smoke cloud of the graveyard .
So many tears rainning here night and day............
Very informative well done
I will pay my respects to The Lizard King someday soon ✌️
Thank you, very awesome of you ✌🏼
My pleasure!
Thank u .. u made my visit easier❤️🙏🏻
Glad to hear that!
I wish they hadn't blocked it off😓
yeah I visited with a buddy from high school back in 1986. then it was open and free to go up to. lots of girls from Sorbonne university sunbathing topless. ahhhh paris!
Too many scumbags! Vandalism! Stole his head stone 😂✔️💀 💀😡😤😡😡
When you get to the fork...take it ,- Yogi said.
Still haven't won lottery yet for my trip to Paris. Hopefully one day when I win, I will use your video to guide me :-)
Thank you!
I wish they hadn't put up the barriers. People just want to honor him.
Thank you.. Quite a labyrinth!
When I get there, it will take the entire Paris Police force to stop me from going over that railing. Thx for the great video.
Why get a map if your showing the route?
Just in case you want to se other graves...
The video makes a meal of what is a very simple route to his grave
I'm not there anymore.
I liked it ... thank you maybe will run into each other
Such a deserving resting place for one of the most genius and creative minds of our century!!!!
LOL Yah right
Why didnt they bring him home to America?
parents couldn't afford the costs to repatriate and the French gov didn't care. but amazing he got a place in such a historical place. in a place like paris they normally grind yur bones and put it in dog food. it is only a marker no real body or remains are actually there according to paris coroner report. look it up
+Sheldon Brock Shit !
Nothing but the best for French dog food!
@@womblesofwimbledon wait so the body was cremated only
One has to pay a lease to be buried here.The French govt. would like Morrison gone. Seems that they cant handle him dead let alone dead. 🖤🎶🎶🇫🇷 🇺🇸
3:11 “Walk till you get to the Y”
Then stop and have lunch and you could tell everybody you ate at the Y
Just thinking about it gets me all giddy!
I like it I just wish his grave had a bust back on it
geez its huge
Bad place for his grave in this cimetery
You can literally go to the front gate, ask the guards, and they'll give you a map with directions 🙄
Thanks..!!!!🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪
Thanks.
That's a fact
Thanks for the video BUT the distance from the metro station Philippe Auguste, is 5 minutes walk from the metro station to the cemetery gate and 5 more minutes from the cemetery gate to the grave. That's the reality, because I have read here, that the distance is about 3 kilometers from the gate to the grave.
Gee,it must be 2.5 kilometers away!
2.7 to be exact
What are you talking about? It's not even a 5 min walk..
Looks like u need to ride a segway to get there. 😂
Sure a dirty, grungy looking cemetery
pretty beatleish music
I would say John Lennonish

Jim was not buried there ,he was creamated an his ashes were spread on Venice beach
