Cimetière de Montmartre
The Paris North Cemetery - popularly known as the Cimetière de Montmartre - is located at 20 avenue Rachel in the 18th arrondissement of Paris. The Père Lachaise cemetery in the east, the Montparnasse cemetery in the south and, in the heart of the city, the Passy cemetery were also laid out outside the former borders of the capital .
history
The cemetery in the north of the city was laid out in a former gypsum quarry after the restructuring of the Montmartre district between 1818 and 1824 and opened as Cimetière du Nord on January 1, 1825 . The Cimetière de Montmartre is the oldest of today's Parisian cemeteries.
Location and importance
The Montmartre Cemetery currently has space for 20,000 graves. Around 500 funerals are held here every year. A busy road, Rue Caulaincourt , serves as a bridge across the cemetery and can be used to reach Montmartre. Nearby is the Boulevard de Clichy with the stop of Métrolinie 2 , which serves the Blanche station. Inside the cemetery there are wide paved paths called avenues.
The cemetery is known for the graves of many artists and scientists. For decades it has been populated by stray cats that are looked after by animal lovers.
