Jean-Baptiste Piketty in Meudon-sur-Seine, Hauts-de-Seine, France

The Piketty family tomb in the Cimetière des Longs Réages in Meudon.
 
Archeologist Jean-Baptiste Piketty (1827–94) wanted to be buried in a dolmen, so – despite some opposition – bought the Ker-Han dolmen in the commune of Saint Philibert (Morbihan), Brittany, and arranged for it to be transported here.
