Pere La Chaise Cemetery & Luxembourg Palace


Today we went to a really cool cemetery that I didn't even know existed until they told us we were headed there! Pere La Chaise Cemetery. Apparently tons of really famous and influential people are buried there. There was even a map of where to find famous people like James Morrison, Chopin, and others :) Pretty cool stuff! We went there to get inspiration for patterns, so I basically ended up taking pictures of TONS of different doors to the above ground caskets. It was a cool experience though!






After we left the cemetery, we headed to Luxembourg Palace. On the way there we saw a movie being filmed at the location below (group of people on the right side of the picture), so that was kind of fun. I didn't see anyone I recognized however, bummer.




Laura and I found a really cool art exhibit with lots of random work like this jacket below dipped probably hundreds of times in white paint, and hanging on a car hood... random? Yes. Cool? You could say that.


Laura and I were inspired and wanted to create our own artwork. As we waited for the group to congregate together again, we talked and drew this with our feet, haha.
