First the Musée d’Histoire de la Médecine at the Descartes School, they say the oldest collection in Europe, then off to Pere Lachaise for some quiet time among the graves. Unfortunately on my way in to the cemetery, some teen french kids yelled out at me with syrupy snarled lip derisive mockery "OH JIM MORRISON, OH PLEASE, WHICH WAY TO JIM MORRISON!!" but how could I explain that I was more interested in Oscar Wilde and Marcel Marceau? Oh well.
