Two famous women whose graves are often visited are Gertrude Stein and Edith Piaf. Stein was a highly intellectual, boundary-pushing figure in Paris in the early part of the 20th century. Originally from the USA, Gertrude Stein spent a great deal of her life in Paris hosting gatherings of artists, playwrights and poets. She pushed social boundaries and conventional thinking through her writing. Edith Piaf was a somewhat tragic figure who seemed to have grief and death follow her throughout her short life. She was a cultural icon and gained fame with songs like La Vie en Rose. She is buried with her father and her last husband in a grave that is frequently visited by fans who leave flowers to honour her memory. The two women and the two graves couldn’t be more different but both are well known and a part of the history of Paris.
