Lestat: “Such impressive dwellings – three townhouse attached to one another and made into one grand palazzo […..] and little decorative iron fencing. Only the central entrance was used, with the bronze name in script above the door: TRINITY GATE.”

Madame John’s Legacy on Flickr.
Madame John’s Legacy is a house in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana. The name is taken from a story by George Washington Cable.[2] The house was built in 1788, after a fire destroyed much of the neighborhood. The house was rebuilt in the older French colonial style, rather than the then current Spanish style.
The housefront was used in the funeral scene in the 1994 film ‘Interview With The vampire’ after Lestat and Claudia take the family in the house as their victims.

The Catacombs in Paris
Carved into the limestone a second city runs underneath Paris and I was lucky enough to get to visit the bits officially open to the public.
Initially you wander down nearly 100 stairs before reaching the tunnels, along the way to the ossuary there are lots of winds and bends and you are still able to see the tool marks scratched into the stone from the early 1800s. Then there is the carvings of a miniature city by an individual who never got to finish it because they were killed by a cave-in before they had opportunity.
Upon reaching the ossuary and entering all you can see is bones, lining the tunnels, literally millions of people. And the further in you go, the more decorative they get with skulls arranged into shapes like hearts. If you’re tall enough to be able to see the top of the stacks, you won’t be able to see how far back they reach.
One I thought sixpenceee might find interesting!
“Interview with the Vampire featured Oak Alley as Louis’ homeplace. Some graveyard scenes and the loading dock scenes were filmed here as well. October 1993.”

This room has been trashed in proper rockstar fashion. Except, rockstars don’t usually leave dead groupies behind. Usually.
