Googling the ghosts of Montparnasse cemetery by Hugh Schofield

Paris is well-known for its cemeteries, the most famous being Pere Lachaise, where tourists seek out the tomb of Oscar Wilde. But I live next to another great 19th Century cemetery in Montparnasse - and when I go there I always take my phone.

It is funny how we love a graveyard.

You would think we would find contemplation of all that decomposition and mortality to be off-putting, but we do not. Or at least I do not.
