Adolphe Sax’s grave

A couple of days ago, while walking in Montmartre, doing my tourist duty, I stopped at Montmartre graveyard. Honestly, I am not into celeb’s graves, but when I saw that Adolphe Sax was buried there, I had to see the grave.
This man is one of the few who can be credited exclusively for the invention of a musical instrument, and what an instrument!

The grave of Adolphe Sax

As you see the grave was filled with flowers. I liked the faded tones, and took some macro pictures.

The simple hand-written note looks somehow moving, “Thanks for the gift of the music”.
