Cimetière de Passy
Just across the way from Trocadéro and the stunning view of la Tour Eiffel
(and the throngs of people)
is this quiet cemetery with its own stunning view of la Tour.
As you walk the narrow shaded paths,
the chatter of the many tourists
along with hawkers of Eiffel Tower key chains
cannot be heard.
The muffled sounds of the caretaker
going about his daily maintenance
and the songs of birds
will accompany you on a walk
through the rows of crypts, tombs and markers.
Cimetière de Passy

Métro Trocadéro
Genie, your description today is poetic, as is this lovely photograph. The birds with intertwined necks are touching. And the purple flowers placed in the door's grillwork are a sentimental touch.
