More from Le Cimetière Père-Lachaise, Paris (75): #21: Évariste Parny


Évariste de Parny (1753–1814) was a poet born in La Réunion. His name was known by his Poésies érotiques (1778), his poetry was hugely popular at the beginning of the nineteenth century, and in 1813 Chateaubriand said that he still remembered some of his works by heart.
