Description
A cemetery is rarely a place for tourism, but this one is an exception, both by the number and quality of its residents (69,000 tombs) and by the romanticism of many of its gravestones. Created at the time of the Empire by Brongniart, the Père-Lachaise cemetery is a genuine open-air museum of funerary architecture, occasionally intriguing and often moving. The last combatants of the Commune were executed by firing squad in front of the Mur des Fédérés.
