The graveyard is the home of the great, not-to-great, the good and the unknown. Many of the tombs are amazing and if you go in the winter or late autum when the leaves are turning, the place is magical. Of course you are also here to see the final resting places of some of the world's most famous people, French and foreign. Like Edith Piaf, or Honoré de Balzac, Oscar Wilde (the most horrible gravestone imaginable, poor man), Moliere, La Fontaine, Jim Morrison (another disappointment) and Chopin. The famous names have flowers and candles left every day by admirers, Chopin and Piaf in particular doing very well. But spare a thought for the many others there as you pass from one famous name to another... An odd part of any visit to Paris, granted, but one you're likely to go home talking about and remembering with great fondness..close

Beshides the world famous Jim Morrison's grave they're many other famous people that are resting here. Better go during the day...because it can be very scary at night. The entrance is free but the guided tour costs € 6.00close
