  • In the southern part of the city, not far form Austerlitz Railway station there is Jardin des Plantes (Botanic Garden). The park is old enough and was founded in the first quarter of XVI century. The Park is very popular among children because here they can see animals in the little zoo (the entrance fee is EUR 5 around as far as I remember it right way :-)).

  • Close to St Lazard railway station there is St Augustin Church that is very beautiful in architecture. I t was been built in 1860-1871 by Baltard architect. It is 94 meters long and one of the longest churches I've seen. Last reconstruction was in 1988 and you can see architecture style in details.

    Cemeteries & Other Resting Places: Montmarte Cemetery

  • I was in 2 cemeteries in Paris. It's not good I think to disturb the silence of the cemetery but it’s really silent place to walk. Don't surprise when you'll see people with a map who rush from one monument to other. They search the graves of the famous people. I don't understand that. Montmartre Cemetery or North Cemetery was open in 1798. Here Stendahl, Offenbach, Degas and some other well-known persons were buried.

  • Another well-known cemetery is Pere Lashaise. It was opened in 1804. The most impressive building here is crematorium. The largest grave in the cemetery is of Russian. It said "to the Demidoff countess. 1814". Here are the graves of Mollier, Sarah Bernar, Chopin and others. In the travelogue you may see some pictures of the cemeteries (including Montmartre).

     Hi, Andrew, you are right! Visit Paris costs a mess. Espesially if you may say: "When I visit Paris last time ..." Spasibo for your comment at my Paris-page

     Even the impression of magnificent cities like Paris can be improved when you have locals like Lio and Marina. Nice page, I better start practicing my bad French for August :)
