People Who Died or are Buried in Paris

At last, my mime knowledge finally comes in handy.

Here's a fun one: Her body is buried in Monaco, but in recognition of her manifold contributions to the arts, civil rights, and the French resistance during WWII, she recently became the first black woman interred in the Pantheon.

I assume Pierrot doesn't work, because it's a fictional character which wasn't buried?

That's my limit of mime knowledge.

This is one of those quizzes that highlights that my general knowledge and actual general knowledge are quite different. The only question I struggled with is the Citroen one, yet 2/3 got that.

I've been to Paris 3x, in 1999, 2004, and 2022, but unfortunately never died there.

I'm fairly certain that more people have died than on this quiz, interesting that its an or rather than an and in the title

Nice quiz! Mime Marceau should be accepted.

Fun fact about Edith Piaf: she didn't die in Paris, but in South of France. Her body was illegally transported by ambulance at night to her flat in Paris, to make it appear that she had died in her hometown.

Her death was officially announced on 11 October 1963 in Paris, thanks to a false death certificate post-dated by her doctor.
