Have just returned from a wonderful long weekend in Paris and thought I would share some film related findings of my journey. As a fan of the french new wave it was a personal desire of mine to see the final resting place of Francois Truffaut, one of the leaders of the movement. The cemetery in Montmarte has many pioneers of the French arts buried there and it is a testament of how high they hold their regard for artists and creative innovators.
Francois Truffaut's grave at Montmarte Cemetary. A true pioneer of filmmakingThe streets of Paris are awash with stunning architecture and picturesque views that have inspired many films and is somewhere that ignites the creative passions, a place steeped in iconic scenery. And has made this part time filmmaker yearn to get back behind the camera.
Henri George Clouzot's grave at Montmarte Cemetary. The director of such French classics as 'The Wages of Fear' and 'Les Diaboliques'.
