Edith Piaf in Metro?
 
There is a Metro station in Paris which has Edith Piaf painted in the ceiling. Does anyone know which station it is? How about any other Piaf sightings? Thanks.

I have heard about a square called Place Edith Piaf, but I do't know where it is. Sorry.

Piaf is buried at Pere-Lachaise cemetery. The day we were there her grave was covered with flowers as it was an anniversary of her birthday.

There is an Edith Piaf private museum in an apartment somewhere in Paris, by appointment only. Check it out on a search engine; it gives info on how to make arrangements to visit it. I've not done it but have read about it; may try it this next trip.

I went to the Edith Piaf museum It is in 2 rooms of a man's apartment. While small, it does have some interesting memorabilia. There is also a life-size cutout of Piaf and she was very tiny. All in all it was quite interesting. I would like to know where the metro painting is.
