that's a wrap - cheating is OK at some point!
#5 translates at the Cemetery of Dog and Other Domesticated Animals in the suburb of Asnieres on or near the Seine -it is open to the public - RinTinTin was first adopted during WW1 in France by an American GI who took him back home to California where he trained him to act in films- the rest is history!
When he died the owner I guess thought the remains should be repatriated to France.
If looking for an off-beat but interesting thing to see in Paris:

9. Edith Piaf, Lafontaine, Molière, Boileau.
(there is a sentence to remember the author of the period : Une Corneille perchée sur la Racine de la Bruyère boit l'eau de LaFontaine Molière).
Not sure they are all there, but I'm pretty sure of the first 3. Boileau I'm nearly sure.
