Jean Giono's grave, Manosque, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence (04)

This is what I completely forgot about last year, and which our guide to his home never even mentioned: Jean Giono's grave.

« OÙ JE VAIS PERSONNE NE VA,

PERSONNE N'EST JAMAIS ALLÉ,

PERSONNE N'IRA. J'Y VAIS SEUL.

LE PAYS EST VIERGE

ET IL S'EFFACE DERRIÈRE MES PAS

JEAN GIONO»

My translation: 'I am going where no one goes, where no one has ever been, where no one will go, I am going alone, the country is uncharted, and hides my footsteps behind me.'
