	Paris Kiosque - Pere Lachaise - November 1998
		The cemetery of Père Lachaise has been extended several times since it was first acquired by Frochot on behalf of the city of Paris in 1804.
		Part of the site was in the 15th century the splendid property of a wealthy spice merchant, Rénault de Wandonne, who himself had bought the grounds from the Bishop of Paris, the owner of large stretches of land on the periphery of the city, notably the entire area of today's 8th arrondissement.
		The Jesuits did not sustain their influence over the licentious Louis XV and were expelled from France altogether in 1763, following which the Mont-Louis was bought up by private people and fell eventually into the hands of the Baron family.
