An old cemetery in Paris, the second in terms of the number of celebrities and stars of music and ballet, literature and art after Pere Lachaise, but people are still buried there. It is divided by a street into two parts. Here are buried Jacques Chirac, writers Jean-Paul Sartre, Alexandre Dumas son, Stendhal, Guy de Maupassant, Charles Baudelaire, composers Jacques Offenbach and Hector Berlioz, artists Edgar Degas and Pissarro, Francois Truffaut, actors Serge Ginsbourg and Philippe Noiret, architect Grand -Opera Garnier, dancer Vatslav Nezhinsky. The remains of Alexander Alekhine, the undefeated first Russian world chess champion, were moved here from Portugal. Located in the city center, near the metro and the Montparnasse tower, but despite this, it is quiet and there are few tourists. Maps showing graves can be obtained at the entrance to the cemetery administration office. Water and toilet facilities are available and free of charge.
You can come in to bow your heads in front of these people and honor their memory, as well as think about the frailty of life.
