Russian cemetery in Sainte-Genevieve-des-Bois

Remains of Russian emigres, mainly those who fled the country after Civil War rest at this cemetery. There are also several graves of celebrities defected/expelled from former Soviet Union.
This cemetery is located about 30 km to the south of Paris. To get there from center of Paris: take line C direction Dourdan-la-Foret or Saint Martin d'Etampes to station Sainte-Genevieve-des-Bois (30 mins), after that take bus number 104 (another 20 mins).
More images will be added slowly.

Vos photos sont fort bien faites et l'émotion de ce lieu est bien ressenti à travers elles. C'est une excellente galerie avec un sujet difficile à faire.
