A cemetery dating from the early century, home to the graves of a number of celebrities and artists.
Originally created in 1824, it was known as the "Cimetière du Sud" (Southern Cemetery), because it was located south of the Fermiers Généraux enclosure, which marked the boundary of Paris at the time. Located on former farms, the cemetery covers 19 hectares. In addition to the Moulin de la Charité, there are two memorials: one to the Communards, the other to the victims of the 1870 war. Famous names buried here include Baudelaire, César, Maupassant, Gainsbourg, Philippe Noiret and Jacques Chirac.

I am putting google pin photos in the pictures so the grave can be found.
Please feel free to share with me if anyone visits.
The old towers in the middle is part of a farm that was there before the cemetery, and the cemetery grew around it.
The place has decent toilets, as seen in my pictures and a few benches for sitting and relaxing. A great way to spend some time on a Sunday.
