Jim Morrison's grave is located in Pere LaChaise, the largest cemetery in Paris. Aside from that of Jim Morrison, one can also view the graves of author Balzac, actress Sarah Bernhardt, Fulgence Bienvenue (creator of Paris's famous Metro), composers Georges Bizet and Frederic Chopin, painter Camille Pissarro, author Oscar Wilde, and about 70,000 other dearly departed souls. Entrance to Pere LaChaise is free and the gates are open from 8:00 a.m. to dusk seven days a week. After dark, you're going to have to scale a rather large wall to get in, which I wouldn't recommend, unless you're just dying (no pun intended) to get a glimpse inside a Parisian jail or get slapped with a hefty fine. For more information about Pere LaChaise, please see the question about the largest park in Paris.

Jim Morrison, the former lead singer of the rock band The Doors, is buried in the Pere-Lachaise in Paris, France. It is the largest cemetery in Paris, and is visited by thousands of people annually. Many other famous people are buried in the cemetery, including Oscar Wilde, Marcel Proust and Edith Piaf, however it is Morrison's grave that attracts the most attention. Attempts to adorn the grave with official markers or busts have been unsuccessful, as the markers have been either vandalized or stolen. The exact address of the cemetery in Paris is Boulevard de Menilmontant. If visiting the cemetery, a map can be purchased at the cemetery that can direct you to the notable graves.
Yes, apparently so, just back from Paris (12 Nov 2011) and visited the cemetery Pere LaChaise basically to see the grave of Jim Morrison and after I saw it I bumped into a rather eccentric cemetery staff member at the Oscar Wilde grave which was getting refurbished & would be open on 16 Nov 2011, who said he had worked there for roughly about 20 odd years, the staff member said that Jim Morrison's remains had been moved to Miami in 1998, after complaints from his family and his common law wife's family, because of the way that the grave was being disrespected by his 'fans', leaving cigarettes, beer and chipping bits of his gravestone off as souvenirs, I was completely shocked when he said that, it's the first time I heard it ever!!
Jim Morrison was with Pamela Courson at the time in Paris. Why he was buried there, I don't know. But I amd guessing it was 1, b/c he died there. 2, b/c he loved Paris, or 3. B/c of the cemetery he was buried in, held many of his inspirations.
