Cimetière Levallois-Perret

The Cimetière Levallois-Perret holds a sprawling, tiered layout that sits tight against the heavy concrete of the Boulevard Périphérique. Most people come for the grave of Gustave Eiffel, the man who built the tower in Paris. He rests here in a modest family vault, tucked away far from the iron spire that made him famous. In eighteen eighty-nine, while the world watched his tower rise, he was already laying out his own final resting place right here in this corner.
