Grave of William Temple Franklin at Père-Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, France |
Description of the grave location: |
Map of Père-Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, France with two routes to the grave in Section 43: Entering at the main gate (Porte Principale) at the bottom of the map requires walking up a hill. To get to Porte Principale gate take the Metro (subway) #1 line (toward Chateau de Vincennes) to the Nation station, To get to Porte Gambetta gate take the Metro #1 and Metro #2 as described above one stop beyond Philippe Auguste station to Pere Lachaise station, |
I tried following the instructions for the grave site, but the rows and columns of graves are not really rows and columns. |
| Directions from the Porte Principale gate: Up Avenue Principale to Avenue du Puits. A short jog to the right to Avenue Laterale du Sud. Up Avenue Laterale du Sud, including steps, to the dead end at Avenue Transversale #1. Right on Avenue Transversale #1: Observe the obelisk shown below on the right. Observe the large tomb (looks like a chapel) of Greffulne on the left; the red arrow on the Greffulne picture shows the grave. |
