Cimetière du Père-Lachaise (continued): #40: Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre

'BERNARDIN DE SAINT-PIERRE
+ 25 JANVIER 1814'

 

Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre actually died on 21 January 1814. He is of course most noted for his novel Paul et Virginie (1787), and was also a botanist: a previous post of mine of his statue in the Jardin des Plantes is here.
