Wow..they sure have defaced his tomb. I had heard that France was trying to evict his body and send it back to the U.S. because of the activities and "momentos" of fans at that cemetary!

Unfortunately for the other Dead, Dead Jim has a lease...

"All are eclipsed by the necropolis's biggest draw, however: the gravestone of Jim Morrison. Christian Charlet, who is responsible for the cemetery and its 70,000 tombs, would happily do without the Doors frontman, who passed out in his bath (and into legend) in Paris in July 1971.

"We'd like to kick him out, because we don't want him, he causes too many problems," Mr Charlet told Reuters news agency. "If we could get rid of him, we'd do it straight away." Unlike many of the tombs, Morrison's is on a perpetual lease.
