Ine Belle of Pere-1- Chaise. A Paris Commune Tale
An eyewitness account recalls the Pere-la-Chaise cemetery siege during the Paris Commune. Federal artillerymen, mounted guard, and sailors hammered Paris as shells fell on Montmartre and the Favronne tombs, while a gray-mannered old commander kept order and paid his men. The narrator endured bombardment, searched tombs with soldiers, and watched 147 National Guards march out, ending with a vivid, fatal-strewn scene of fire and memory.
