Best places: Cemeteries in France

👍👍 A very well kept cemetery of the fallen German soldiers during the Second World War. Very informative and rich in history. You get the feeling of lost life here. The 5 black monuments, with one bigger in the middle are graves of the soldiers. Usually, 3-4 were buried under each grave. Very peaceful....

Vast tree-lined burial site with famous names including Oscar Wilde, Jim Morrison & Maria Callas.

👍👍 The Faubourg d'Amiens military cemetery in ARRAS (62000), is a memorial dedicated to the 35,942 officers and soldiers of the armies of the British Empire who fell in the battles of Arras during the First World War.

Tree-lined graveyard with the resting places of writers & artists including Sartre & Beckett.

Luminaries including Nijinsky, Degas & Zola lie in this tree-lined burial ground opened in 1825.

👍👍 A place of serenity and contemplation, whose history overlaps with that of the island. A must see.

Doors frontman Jim Morrison's final resting place & fans' pilgrimage site in Père-Lachaise cemetery.

👍 Un peu triste de voir ces navires réduits à l'état de squelettes. On dirait presque des baleines échouées sur sable. Quelque part les adeptes du street art donnent une deuxième vie à ces bateaux en apportant un peu de couleurs. Attention le site n'est pas vraiment sécurisé.

👍👍 We discovered this place by accident - driving along the Boulevard de Garavan - a dazzling drive, scented by Cedar trees looking down to the aquamarine Mediterranean below but reaching it by car is treacherous. If you have to reverse to allow oncoming traffic to pass - the drop down to the sea is a...

1700s cemetery built over Nice's citadel, with graves of many notable figures & sweeping city views.

👍 Une petite balade sympathique et atypique. Le sentier n'est pas accessible avec une poussette et est parfois accidenté. Il part après le pont suspendu.

Illuminated labyrinth in former limestone mine with millions of ghoulishly arranged skeletons.

👍👍 Inspiring and hallowed ground. Mainly WW I graves for US soldiers. Very quiet and nobody else on the grounds but us when we visited. You could hear the flags (French and US) flapping in the breeze. Very easy to get to by taxi or train (not the Metro, but runs the same). 5 min trip from La Defen...

Steep cemetery with the marble tomb of artist Maurice Utrillo & glimpses of the Sacré-Cœur basilica.

Jewish cemetery & Holocaust memorial with tombs of famed cartoonist Goscinny & jeweler Van Cleef.

👍👍 Official primary school version: Don Porfirio fled to Europe and was never heard from again. I brought my daughter to learn a little about the history of Mexico, without judging, it's just history, I invite you to watch my videos so you can see the tomb .

😐 A small town well served and well maintained; With a main square that deserves better than surface parking...As for bars and restaurants, there are a large number of them and for all tastes... I liked the citadel area In summary, a quiet town

👍👍 Cimetière ou il est intéressant de s'y arrêter pour voir les monuments funéraires de toutes ces familles du cirque. Impressionnant et émouvant de voir ce culte de la mort aussi grandiose. Dommage de constater le vol des 2 lions de la famille Bouglione

👍👍 Merci aux propriétaires pour l'embellissement du site, pour leur accueil chaleureux et leur passion. Ils ont sauvé un patrimoine Français et nous les remercions. Visite intéressante et instructive et un parc verdoyant magnifique qui nous amène à la tombe d'un célèbre acteur charismatique Yul Bryner...
