The bust on the top is Mr Auguste Bain born in 1856, passed away in 1916. He became a cutlery manufacturer and trader. He is the inventor of the mechanical single-edged razor and the hair clipper. It made the fortune of Auguste Bain, for whom the family was able to build an extraordinary chapel, covered with sculptures. The statue with a dog is his son, Robert Bain, born in 1891 and passed away in 1904, at a young age of 13. As for the identity or meaning of the other two statues, a boy and a girl remain unknown.
Ran across part 2 before part 1 but I will also watch it. Wow this is stunning remarkable lovely place. I am sure the video does it no justice to see all the beautiful monuments and statues with such marvelous carvings. Thank you so much ❤
@@SerenitySueGraveyards was in the hospital Sue, for a week, almost died. Got 3 units of platelets, 3 units of blood 4 antibiotics lots of other stuff. All numbers tanked. Better now. Went in with a low fever 100.3 went to 103. You know when you're dying, they don't tell you. I have a cancer navigator, she watches over me and makes sure everything is on track. She said I was in her prayers every night. I'm Soo stupid, it didn't Dawn on me about all the stuff they were putting into me, something was serious. Had a blood infection, part of the Cancer came off and went into my blood. I'm Soo sorry for your loss it was hard to see you so upset. Your such a good person. Looking forward to more videos, miss your old entry song before your vids started. Take care loralee
Thank you for finding Oscar Wild it’s not how I imagined it. But wow a different walk. Usually it’s cold and rainy Shame could here you struggling . Such a beautiful grave yard.
I do not like to be out on hot days so I thank you sincerely for making a beautiful video while being so uncomfortable. A very interesting video too. 💖💖⭐⭐💐💐
Hi Guys, There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about. 😂, Oscar wilde. I loved the tour, pity we couldn't see the grave of Edith Piaf, the little swallow. I love her song namely, Non je ne regrette rien. I have no regrets. A beautiful song. Cheers.
I've been in the 90s with college on a paris trip it's so beautiful the tombstones are incredible the atmosphere otherworldly the lots of cats where they still around?
The statue of the still living lady is not a big secret. It is mentioned on the internet with picture and information. She organized it herself in 2008. Her name is also on the gravestone of her husband who is burried in a different cemetry. So she already creates some kind of mystery around her future death. Btw : I've been to père Lachaise several times and it is amazing. Thank you for your beautiful video!
Wow thanks so much, that's amazing. She really is a stunning lady too. I'm going to look this up as I find it strange her husband is not buried here, a little sad but it happens
The statue of the living lady is stunning...amazing sculpture work. I was not aware of this before the video, and this is not a practice i know of that is done very much here in the States. And why is her husband not with her? Hmm. But not just the statue of her, the amount of care, time, and attention to detail for so many of the gravesites and memorials here is amazing...every corner you turn its amazing...and each one is a persons history. Wow...could easily spend a lot of time there exploring!!
I will definitely go to visit that cemetery the next time I'm in France. Just got home from a stay in the south of France. Verrrrry Verrrrry warm weather, *whew* thanks for the tour. ❤
This was amazing! The sculptures and stained glass windows are priceless! Thanks for bringing us to the famous graves. Didn’t know Oscar Wilde was buried here! Ok, the patina is worn off that spot😂 Would you and GV go back? I bet you could spend a week in these cemeteries! Sorry I missed the live, I fell asleep 😴
I heard a Swiss-French accent there along the way. Very interesting video. I hope you two recovered from the heat! One tree actually had fall colour starting on it’s leaves 🍂 🍁 God Bless you! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
This was wonderful to watch. Many of those places are just beautiful. A lot of artistic ability went into those. Ty for the tour . Tc and stay safe always.
Just WoW! I wish you had more time, there was so much to see. Thank you for sticking it out through the heat, it's hard to enjoy yourself when it's that warm, stay hydrated ❤
Hi Sue. What an amazing place. So clearly well cared for & massive. I had a look on Google maps & it's huge. Thank you for your dedication & commitment in making these wonderful videos. Love & best wishes xx

This is one of your best videos Sue. The monuments, the family mausoleums, are fascinating! I hope you were able to get a large cold 🥶 drink when you were done. Thank you very much Sue, for sharing this with us. Take care. 😊
Amazing video, Sue. So many beautiful graves. I love Oscar. I had no idea that people were kissing his grave. Noir is quite something, too. 😏 Thank you so much.
SUCH BEAUTIFUL MONUMENTS , i could spend hours in there myself. Thank you so much for showing these graves, why didn't they bury Oscar Wilde in Ireland . ?
That place is awesomely beautiful, even had crows (although they sounded as if they had a French accent) 😂😂😂 you know if you don’t throw together a book (I know shut up Jim) 😂😂 if you don’t do a book it would be truly sad, I know you could do it and Corrine from “Are ghosts real” has herself already had a book published back in 2014, perhaps she’d give you some help with starting this project, I know she would she’s really a nice lady 👍👍👍 Excellent as always Sue ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hi Sue,you miss Jim Morrisson American Singer from the group the Doors? They were going to exhume him recently? Heard they were Negotiating it? Interesting you think? Love the Irish cemetery prision one you did. I just did a episode on first Aviator to die in air crash here in Vermont,Got a Govenors Proclamation for it too, Keep up great sneaks int tombs ect?
Well we got a cheap hotel, which was lovely and we ate in macdonalds so we knew exactly what we were paying. The underground is cheap and efficient it was 2euro 10 cent per journey per person or you can buy a week card for bus and train
31:41 Couldn't find any information who lies in this grave with statue of a pelican, but I’m quite certain there must be an interesting story behind it!
Found some information on the lovely lady who died in 1944. Found it in French and used Google to translate it. Mrs. Andrée says: "In 1944, I live in the Montparnasse district, Lucienne lives in the Les Halles district where her father has a fruit and vegetable business. In August 1944, the announcement of the Allied's rapid advance led to a rumour of a near liberation of Paris. A few days before the arrival of the French troops, the resistance fighters harmed the occupants. I often call Lucienne to tell her what is happening in my neighbourhood and Lucienne is enthusiastic and ready to live this moment that we have all been waiting for for a long time. We made tricolour flags with what we could in the meantime. But it's also confusion. On August 20, 1944, Lucienne hearing an armoured sound, assumed that they were the liberators and went to her window waving her tricolour flag... unfortunately it was a German troop and a shot killed her Lucienne. That's how we are a victim of what was supposed to be a moment of joy: the liberation of Paris. ”
I was there the week before Princess Diana died. I went with my sister to find Jim Morrisons grave. I remember we found Yves Montand, Oscar Wildes ( There was no glass partition) and Sarah Bernhardt graves. We eventually found Jim Morrisons and there was a guard guarding it at the time it smelled of drugs as well. If I had know about the guy you can rub I would definitely having given it a feel🤭😉🤣🤣🤣
I was there in 2011 and with a full battery in my camera. I took some beautiful Fotos. My mother had asked me for a foto of Jim Morrison. Took one foto and my camera just shut down. Battery empty. So I didn't get Chopin and others. I always say that Jim didn't want his picture taken. Haha did they put glass around Wilde?!! I have a picture without the glass and covered with lipstick.
Yes the glass is around Oscars tomb but now they kiss the glass lol, you could have ten cameras with fresh batteries and still never see it all to photo, I think I left a title piece of my Irish heart there
The amount of money / time that it would have cost / taken to create these amazing structures ... and they say you 'cant take it with you when you go'? I think they did.
That's interesting. They put a glass enclosure around Oscar Wilde's grave. That was not there when I visited in the 90s. There was a penis hanging from the man positioned on the side of the grave. It had been broken off. Looks like they didn't replace it.
Theres a gag channel on here with a guy sitting on a bench dressed as a bandit cowboy whos robbed a bank and he looks like he's made of bronze,if he'd see this he'd gag scare the pants off these friendly women,😉
George Rodenbach cause of death appendicitis at age 43. Typical reason for an early death in the days before antibiotics. His tomb is one of the best sculptures in Père Lachaise for me. Remarkable but not ostentatious, as some are clearly monuments to the family's wealth.
It is believed that if a woman kisses the statue of Victor Noir on the lips, rubs the bulge in his trousers and drops a flower in his hat it will bring her enhanced fertility, and a blissful sex life. More specifically - if you want to find a beautiful lover, you should kiss Noir`s lips; if you want to get pregnant, you should touch his right foot; and if you want to have twins, you should touch his left foot. According to the myth, a baby will follow soon after and single ladies will find a husband within the year. I found this very interesting
Saying hello from Granite Bay, California Hoping your kids are doing well with the death of their Dad. Sending my best to you and your husband I know the time you spend giving us pleasure.

The statue of the family and the dog is incredible.

My heart did drop when I saw those young kids graves. Once you've seen that, you will never forget that moment. So so sad. RIP young souls.❤
The young children's graves are the saddest
Beautiful cemetary. Thank you Sue and GV💐
Glad you enjoyed it
The symbolism in the details of the older monuments would be interesting to explore. There are many messages hidden in plain sight within them.
I agree, it's fascinating
Love the video today from Australia 🇦🇺

In Pere Lachaise, where twilight softly weaves,
A realm of whispers, where love never leaves,
Amidst the sepulchers and ivy's tender grace,
A sacred beauty in this enchanting place.
Ancient oaks, their limbs in reverence bow,
To guard the secrets of those resting now,
Each stone a saga, etched in history's embrace,
In Pere Lachaise, where souls entwine with grace.
Cobblestone paths meander through this sacred glen,
Where vows of ardor and tears return again,
Carved angels stand with mournful, watchful eyes,
While the world outside in chaos flies.
Oscar Wilde, in opulence, finds his sleep,
'Neath verses kissed by hearts that vigil keep,
Piaf's sweet song, forever in the breeze,
In Pere Lachaise, where legends find their ease.
Jim Morrison's tomb, adorned by fervent souls,
A rock 'n' roll poet, in sepulchral roles,
In the City of Light, his spirit still does roam,
In Pere Lachaise, where he's found his home.
Marble sculptures, aged by the weight of years,
Marked by grief, by love, and countless tears,
Yet here, 'midst fragrant blooms that gently rise,
Life and death waltz in profound reprise.
Tombs and crypts, an artful labyrinth to view,
A gallery of passion, of love renewed,
In Pere Lachaise, where past and present twine,
A timeless promenade, where souls entwine.
In the moonlit alleys, and the sun's warm embrace,
A saunter through Pere Lachaise, a sacred space,
Where the living and the departed merge in night,
In this cemetery of beauty, 'neath the Parisian light.
Beautiful

The monuments, the family mausoleums, are fascinating!

George Rodenbach cause of death appendicitis at age 43. Typical reason for an early death in the days before antibiotics. His tomb is one of the best sculptures in Père Lachaise for me. Remarkable but not ostentatious, as some are clearly monuments to the family's wealth.
Thanks a million, as we say here, you can't bring it with you. Yet I find the monuments works of art
That's most likely what killed him, looks like lonely women come to sit on his bump its rather worn and polished looking😆
Haha close lol you'll have to wait and see
This woman gives me the creeps…😳😳😳
What woman?? Me or the statue 😳
It is believed that if a woman kisses the statue of Victor Noir on the lips, rubs the bulge in his trousers and drops a flower in his hat it will bring her enhanced fertility, and a blissful sex life. More specifically - if you want to find a beautiful lover, you should kiss Noir`s lips; if you want to get pregnant, you should touch his right foot; and if you want to have twins, you should touch his left foot. According to the myth, a baby will follow soon after and single ladies will find a husband within the year.
I found this very interesting
I heard that yes, wonder how many times it worked
