Christophe Foultier lived in a suburb of Paris, but a love of Pearl Jam and rock music in general led him and his wife to travel the West Coast.
They toured venues from San Francisco to Seattle.
Along the way, they stopped at Whaleshead Beach north of Brookings, Ore. The couple immediately fell in love with the area, so much that Foultier told his wife, Caroline Jolivet, he’d want to be buried there.
