Nouveaux vs anciens


Cimetière du Montmartre, the third largest in Paris, features a road running directly overhead some of the resting places. The current cemetery was finished in 1824 and built in an abandoned gypsum quarry. Rue Caulaincourt, or Pont Caulaincourt, a decorative metal viaduct runs over it. This is a resting place in Paris that I recommend if you are visiting Montmartre and want to experience a Paris cemetery.

Le corbeau


Well, maybe not,  but it seemed like the natural bird to be perching on a mausoleum at Cimetière de Montmartre.

La Croix


A cold January day at Cimetière  de Montmartre, we found this cross.When finding the link, I was amazed that this cemetery opened in 1825.
