The airport during the holidays is a madhouse and security lines can be...

It's been 16 years since we've visited Paris for our honeymoon (as part of a larger London trip) and strolled through Père Lachaise Cemetery. It's the largest cemetery in Paris and is the final resting place of famous people like Gertrude Stein, Oscar Wilde, and Jim Morrison.

The cemetery is so large that you can get a map, as it also has streets with names to find your...
