"Père Lachaise Cemetery" Top 5 Page for this destination Cemeteries & Other Resting Places Tip by Nemorino

This large cemetery in the 20th arrondissement is popular with tourists because some famous people are buried here. If you go in at the main entrance you can get a map to help you find the graves of people like Gioacchino Rossini, Maria Callas, Édith Piaf, Oscar Wilde or Jim Morrison, and also to help you find your way out again.

I think one of the graves in this photo might be where the dramatist Pierre Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais (1732-1799) was buried (yes, the author of The Barber of Seville and The Marriage of Figaro), but the inscriptions are quite weathered so I'm not sure.

Boulevard de Ménilmontant
Velib' 20131 or 11021 (the border between the 11th and 20th districts runs right through here, that's why they have such different numbers)
