Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris is famous for the final resting places of writers, artists, musicians, and other well-known figures. But among its countless graves, one monument attracts attention for a very unusual reason: the tomb of Victor Noir. Visitors don't come only to remember the young journalist whose life ended violently. They also come to see his remarkably realistic bronze funerary statue, which has become surrounded by one of Paris's strangest legends.
