nureyev's grave
 
On what train line from Paris is St Genevieve des Bois? Is the Russian cemetery close to the station? Walkable? Is there a map on the net?

It's about 25 km (about 15 miles) south of Paris.<BR>Trains (RER, line C)leave from Paris-Austerlitz.<BR>If you do a google search on &quot;Sainte Genevieve des Bois&quot;, you'll get some more information. It's a small place, so I'd guess the walk should be doable.<BR>

I spent a summer as a student living with friends in Ste. Genevi&egrave;ve. One of my flatmates, with less than perfect French, went to the local market to buy the Sunday roast. Came home with chevaline. We were poor. We ate it.
