The Most Famous Cemetary in the World


Cimetière du Père-Lachaise is both beautiful and haunting depending upon when you go. Visit Paris' largest cemetery in summer for a gorgeous display of all that nature has to offer, or walk the stone path in wintertime and you'll feel transported back in time amongst imposing gothic mausoleums. Some of France's most famous residents are buried here including Edith Piaf, Oscar Wilde, Honore de Balzac, Chopin and Marcel Proust.
