    Hi Sue! One thing about the damage to the area, is that Paris took many bombings during the German occupation, so it isn't vandals who did damage, but the bombs! I could make out some shrapnel damage to some of the structures.
    I looked up the domed Mausoleum and found one small photo of the interior, and it looked magnificent!
    The Mausoleum with the woman guarding the door, there are stairs going down to the lower level, and the floor is glass blocks to allow light to get down there too!
    Such a huge and historic cemetery! It could take years to see it all!

      thanks for that! also, a thing i think happened which confuses young metal detectorists finding droplets of aluminum scattered across fields in Europe....the stock footage that's been used ad nauseum in film and television, most notably 12 O'clock High is of a B17 going down burning, melting. the deaths of an aircrew have cycled for years as entertainment.

      @@fionagreenwood3231 There are so many things to see, and once you start seeing some of it, you will want to stop and learn more about the things you are seeing, and it all adds up in time, that you really need so much time, that it could take many lifetimes to learn all you get interested in, so you have to get selective in what you want to learn about!
      Once I started to learn about teaching myself about what interested me, it overwhelmed me as a young man, that I was very depressed, until I met an old man who knew what I was struggling with, that he was able to show me how to filter all of the things I was interested in, into things that would benefit what I had as a life goal, which really helped me to trim the interests down to a few that made it manageable.
      So I have had a very interesting time going through life, and even when things went 'wrong', like being fired from a job of 36 years, I did not feel loss, but I was able to transition into a new life, without any feelings of loss or bitterness. I am doing new things, and the person who fired me is struggling with the loss!
      And I am using the lessons of life to continue learning new things!

    At the entrance of the Lagarde - Gueret family vault, there is a hooded female gatekeeper who guards the tomb. The glazed sculpture and gate are one which swings open inwards. Inside a small spiral staircase leads to the family vault below. That is where you saw the drop on the left side when you looked inside.
