Jim Morrison's grave, Père Lachaise, Paris
The Doors' fabled frontman died a true rock-star death in the Marais decades ago. The annual pilgrimage to his grave in the Cimetière du Père Lachaise has never slowed.

Lady Day inspired a generation of rock, blues and jazz singers. U2 might call her the 'Angel of Harlem', but her grave is in another borough.

The King's sprawling mansion is also his final resting place. Paul Simon sang about driving to Graceland for redemption. For travellers, it's a place to connect with the soul of rock 'n' roll.
