Hello Peggy - Thank you for reminding us of the tragic romance of Abelard and Eloise.
My husband and I visited the Pere-Lachaise cemetery in Paris many, many years ago - and visited the 'alleged' tomb of the lovers. We were honeymooning at the time - and had recently seen the play, 'Abelard and Eloise' at,(If I remember correctly)The National Theatre, in London. "Although the Pere-Lachaise Cemetery in Paris is believed to be the most likely resting place of the two lovers, their final burial spot remains in dispute, with the Oratory of the Paraclete also claiming to be their final resting place." An excellently succinct encapsulation of one of the great love stories of all time. Leonora ······· ······· |
