Jim Morrison's Grave

Jim Morrison is buried in the famous Père Lachaise cemetery in eastern Paris. The grave was unmarked until French officials placed a shield over it, which was subsequently stolen in 1973. In 1981, a square headstone with Morrison's name was erected. The Greek inscription on the head stone means "True to his own spirit". That same year a sculptor placed a bust of Jim's head on top of the gravestone to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Jim's death. The bust remained until 1988. Morrison's grave is amongst the most popular graves in the cemetery and is renowned as a popular destination for travelers. In 1993, his parents visited the site and made arrangements with a cleaning company to have the graffiti removed from the nearby tombstones.(Wikipedia) The photos were taken on July 27, 2007.
