This is the grave of the teacher and spiritist Allan Kardec. While I was here, someone told me that his grave has more flowers than any other in Père Lachaise. That's because folks come here to ask for something, and reach up to rub his shoulder to help their wish along. Then if they get what they wanted, they come back and leave flowers to say "Merci." (By the way, I tried it and it worked—so now I"ll have to come back here with my offering.) [To see more of Today's Flowers, go here.] |

How lovely to remember him with all these beautiful flowers. Thank you for sharing this with Today's Flowers Alexa. I appreciate it very much :)
ReplyDeleteBetter late than never, I really enjoyed seeing this post. I saw Allan Kardec when I visited Pere Lachaise last September, even made his picture, but didn't quite know what to make of it .... and now I know. I'm sure I would be asking to make another return trip to Paris. :-)
