Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris is today known for the graves of the singer Jim Morrison and the writers Victor Hugo and Oscar Wilde, but when it opened in the early 19th century the owners felt that they needed some star names to make it a desired burial site - and so they had 18th century playwright Molière's body transferred there.
