Pierre Giffard: Cimetière de Maisons-Laffitte #2

'PIERRE LOUIS GIFFARD
1853 – 1922
HOMME DE LETTRES
OFFICIER D LA LEGION D'HONNEUR
VULGARISATEUR DU TÉLÉPHONE EN 1877
                                           DU PHONOGRAPHE EN 1878
                                            DE LA BICYCLETTE EN 1890
                                            DE L'AUTOMOBILE EN 1894'

A rather unusual epitaph, 'Vulgarisateur' of course meaning 'Populariser'. Below is a link to an earlier post I made on Giffard, which also includes a little on Jean Cocteau's house in Maisons-Laffitte:
