Initially I was afraid it was too morbid ... but no ... !!! Nathalie Rheims, through his photographs and his story as historical fiction, made me travel through time the garden of shadows that is the Père Lachaise cemetery, because as she quotes on the back cover: "Pere Lachaise magic lies in the shadow of his oh how tree alleys, which had its heyday in the 17th century ".
Over, tombs and ancient tombs, she reveals the secrets and mysteries of this cemetery visited by three and a half million tourists, a bit like a museum of the past dedicated to the many personalities buried there, where living and dead cross without ever encountered.
A beautiful book that reads like a novel ... !! A beautiful time travel guided through beautiful photos.
