A cemetery dating from the early century, home to the graves of a number of celebrities and artists.

This cemetery dates back to the early 19th century. Located on former farms and the necropolis of the Saint-Jean-de-Dieu monks, one of the towers of the many 18th-century flour mills remains from this heritage. Many famous people have been buried in this cemetery, which is now little visited by tourists. Many personalities are buried here: Zadkine, Baudelaire, Sartre, Maupassant, Gainsbourg, and former President Jacques Chirac.

The Montparnasse cemetery is truly a quiet spot amidst the otherwise bustling streets of the capital.
Take a moment or two to relax and sit down and enjoy the scenery, especially in spring when the trees and bushes grow their leaves and first blossoms appear.
There are quite a few celebrity buried among others Serge Ginsbourg, Susan Sontag and J. P. Sartre.

If you are seeing this, please read. Our daughter Sonya Love Atran-Pirtz will be celebrating her 2nd birthday very soon. Due to heartbreaking circumstances, she is resting peacefully in this beautiful cemetery. My wife and I had to leave paris, and we can not make it to the grave as much as we would love. If anyone would find it in their heart to stop by and say hi or even water the plants for us, if they look thirsty, it would mean the world to us.
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.

לא חשבתי שאגיד את זה אי פעם, אבל ממש נחמד להסתובב פה בבית קברות ????

Absolutely stunning cemetery with quite a few people of note buried here, especially Jean Paul satire, who’s buried with his wife Simone du boviour. You’ll find travel cards left on their stones and others.

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.
