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.
