Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris: photos, reviews

About

Père Lachaise Cemetery is one of the most popular burial places in Paris. Its fame comes from its long and interesting history, as well as the names of the people who have found their final resting place here. From the time it was founded, the site was quite secluded. Under Louis XIV, it was a Jesuit order garden, and monarchs came here for private negotiations and solitary walks. At the beginning of the 19th century, the city authorities purchased the site and established the cemetery. Initially, the place's popularity was artificially boosted by transferring the remains of famous individuals (such as Molière, La Fontaine, etc.). Then, burying only the most distinguished French figures from politics, science, and the arts here became the norm.
