He was a collector of oriental carpets and antique fabric. <br />You can find out more about Noureev on this site http://www.nureyev.org/Irinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03843534864099224913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9055676571236633849.post-41801844028801341052012-11-20T16:15:30.491-04:002012-11-20T16:15:30.491-04:00In Paris all very beautifully, even the graves...In Paris all very beautifully, even the graves...polisha-uahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14264118807317960316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9055676571236633849.post-66643474969807498502012-11-10T06:16:48.239-04:002012-11-10T06:16:48.239-04:00I had no idea !I had no idea !This is Belgiumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13717829942768478705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9055676571236633849.post-68426080153272220592012-11-09T02:09:29.675-04:002012-11-09T02:09:29.675-04:00Wow what an amazingly beautiful monument.

The tomb was not constructed until some years after his death so I do not think that he ever envisioned something quite so special. The trunk and the rug held significance in his early life.<br /><br />He did request to be buried here in the Russian Orthodox Cemetery, a quiet cemetery barely noticed by the locals in Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois. I think that he would have been delighted with this unique tribute.<br /><br />Jane and Lance, I have always sought out cemeteries as they tell much about the history and culture of an area. I am glad that you like this one.<br /><br />To all, the mosaics and the gentle folds of the rug will make you blink your eyes to believe what you are seeing. <br /><br />Bises,<br />GenieGenie -- Paris and Beyondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12758801373365481655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9055676571236633849.post-40014827397007736492012-11-07T22:35:44.398-04:002012-11-07T22:35:44.398-04:00Wow, talk about going in style.Wow, talk about going in style.Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14324315351283229508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9055676571236633849.post-52277507490514080352012-11-07T21:52:35.458-04:002012-11-07T21:52:35.458-04:00Wonder if Nureyev knew before he died that his gra...Wonder if Nureyev knew before he died that his grave would be so beautiful.
