Our commemorative tour explores in depth the life and times of Jim Morrison in Paris. We'll begin our day's touring where Jim first encountered Paris, while staying at the same hotel where Oscar Wilde, another tortured genius, died. We spend time this morning exploring part of the ‘Latin Quarter’; home of the Sorbonne university and long the hang-out of the Parisian bohemians and intellectuals, the quarter boasts cafes like Les Deux Magot, jazz clubs and boutique hotels used by the stars. Though 40-years since Jim 'found' Paris any changes have not made the quarter any the less intriguing, and we'll see why the area was, and is, so popular amongst musicians and other artists.

Jim soon found a flat to rent in the fashionable Marais district. We follow his footsteps acrossing the Seine and spend time walking these atmosphere-filled streets. The small cafes, bars and interesting architecture of the Marais easily explain why this was such a fine place to live. One of Paris's main iconic locations, the Place de Vosges is in this dstrict and it was here that Morrison would come to sit, reflect and write his poetry under the shade of the trees, or while seated in a small bistro. Jim's nearby flat is where he was purported to have died, but we'll discover the real location later in our day.

Alas, our next location is the incredible Pere Lachaise cemetery. Our main reason for coming here is of course to see Morrison's grave and to pay our respects. The amazing gothic tombs and family vaults of this incredible, sprawling, silent centre of Paris demand we spend more time here. You'll have independent time to search out the last resting places of international artists, philosophers, politicans and the unsung population of the city. Here you'll find the graves of musicians like Stephane Grapelli, singing stars like Edith Piaf, writers such as Oscar Wilde, Gertude Stein, Colette and Balzac, actors like Sarah Bernhardt and Yves Montand, and dancer Isadora Duncan.

We finally return to to the Latin Quarter; to places beloved both by Morrison and a complement of other rock musicians. Off the Boulevard St Germain, we'll visit and have unique special access to the club where Morrison died, and learn how and why his already dead corpse was spirited away to his flat.

During our day we'll also visit a number of other sites connected with the Morrison story, and will also take advantage of attending other commemorative Morrison events and exhibitions as convenient to our main schedule.
