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.

Montparnasse Cemetery is a fascinating place to wander around, to appreciate the funerary monuments and architecture. It is less evocative than Père-Lachaise and Montmartre Cemeteries, but there are still plenty of famous graves to seek out. There is are maps dotted around near the entrances, which make it easy to find people of interest, and a QR code which permits you to download a version of the map. However, it is also a place to roam and appreciate the monuments of wealthy Parisians and expats, without any particular purpose or destination in mind.

Sachez que pour vos funérailles, votre chien se verra refuser l'entrée au cimetière et donc le droit de partager ce dernier moment avec vous. Un exemple de la bêtise humaine et du manque d'humanité du personnel encadrant.

Aimant beaucoup visiter les cimetières, celui-ci était magnifique (quoique un peu trop grand mais on fait avec). On y trouve tellement de personnages historiques Baudelaire, Citroën, Varda et Demy, Gainsbourg…

Mais, accompagnée de mon ami, j’ai cherché Christophe pendant au moins 30mn et je ne l’ai jamais trouvé. J’étais alors très déçue, je lui ai dit les mots bleus et j’ai crié Aline pour qu’elle revienne…

날씨가 우중충했는데 그게 또 묘지랑은 잘 어울렸던 거 같아요. 지나가는 길에 있다면 한번 들려봐도 나쁘지 않겠어요.
