Avis LE CIMETIÈRE DE MONTMARTRE Paris

Visite à faire absolument , cimetière ombragé ou l’on retrouve les tombes de célébrités. Emplacement étonnant sous un boulevard

Ce fut un plaisir de visiter ce cimetière , malgré la pluie . Merci à la personne qui nous a accompagnés en nous expliquant ou étaient situés Michel Berger et France Gall ,DALIDA , Dick RIVERS .C' est un superbe cimetière . Avec le chat noir et blanc qui s'y promène , qu' on peut caresser ,se reposant sur une tombe . A voir au moins une fois .

When I pass away, I want to be buried here. Such a peaceful and wonderfulness place. Serence and quiet.

Le vrai tombeau des morts, c'est le coeur des vivants. Pour que les Dieux s'amusent beaucoup, il importe que leur victime tombe de haut. Super endroit .

Se le considera el cementerio de los artistas. Aquí yacen algunos personajes ilustres tales como: Edgar DeGas, Focault, Berlioz, Alejandro Dumas o Emile Zola, entre otros.

A tener en cuenta: solo hay una puerta de entrada, por lo que el paseo comienza y acaba en el mismo punto. Sus calles son mayormente empedradas y tienen muchas escaleras y cuestas pronunciadas, por ello, no es un sitio para personas con movilidad reducida.

Avis du 11 mai 2025: riveraine très proche mécontente, 17h, la 2e porte d'entrée rue Ganneron habituellement ouverte est fermée cette fois-ci ! Veuillez respecter les horaires annoncés.

Ancien avis :
Cimetière de 1825, plendide, silencieux !
Tombes de Dalida, la dame aux camélias et en PJ photos tombes d' Émile Zola et de Charcot.

Je ne peux que conseiller cet endroit !

Il Cimitero di Montmartre è uno di quei luoghi poco battuti dai turisti frettolosi, ma che regalano un’intensa emozione a chi ama la storia, l’arte e la bellezza nascosta. Aperto nel 1825, è il terzo cimitero più grande di Parigi, dopo Père-Lachaise e Montparnasse, e si trova nel cuore del quartiere di Montmartre, incastonato sotto il ponte della rue Caulaincourt.

Costruito su un’antica cava di gesso utilizzata durante la Rivoluzione francese come fossa comune, il cimitero è oggi un luogo sorprendentemente poetico e ricco di fascino: viali alberati, silenzio ovattato, tombe scolpite con eleganza e piccoli mausolei che sembrano opere d’arte.

Qui riposano grandi nomi della cultura francese ed europea, tra cui:
• Stendhal, autore de Il rosso e il nero;
• Heinrich Heine, poeta tedesco;
• Alexandre Dumas figlio, autore de La signora delle camelie;
• Dalida, celebre cantante franco-italiana, la cui tomba è tra le più visitate;
• François Truffaut, uno dei registi simbolo della Nouvelle Vague;
• Émile Zola (anche se successivamente trasferito al Pantheon);
• e molti altri artisti, musicisti e scienziati.

La disposizione del cimitero è irregolare, quasi labirintica, e lo rende un luogo da esplorare lentamente, lasciandosi guidare dalla curiosità o dalle emozioni. È un posto che invita al raccoglimento, ma anche alla riflessione sull’eredità culturale e umana che questi personaggi ci hanno lasciato.

Consiglio personale: visitatelo in una giornata tranquilla, magari con una leggera nebbia o al tramonto – il fascino aumenta. L’ingresso è gratuito e c’è una piccola mappa all’entrata che aiuta a orientarsi tra le tombe più celebri.

La Halte de paix à Paris est un endroit agréable à visiter, avec un personnel accueillant.

Ein wunderschöner Ort mit beeindruckenden Gräbern, vielen Bäumen und Bänken. Am Eingang kam man sich eine laminierten Karte des Friedhofs ausleihen auf der die Grabstätten bekannten Persönlichkeiten eingezeichnet sind.

Agréable et plus calme que celui du père lachaise. De nombreuses tombes de personnalités connues !

Много свежих могилок

Intrigante. Histórico. Hermoso. Ideal para algunas postales

This has to be one of the most amazing cemeteries I have visited. The workmanship is just amazing! The workmanship is impressive. It’s a must see if only to walk through for a little while.

"Visite originale", hors du temps s'il on peut dire ...

Sorprende lo tranquilo que es el cementerio en medio de un barrio tan concurrido. Tienes mapas en la entrada del cementerio con la ubicación de las tumbas, por si buscas alguna concreta. Puedes llevarlos mientras paseas por el cementerio y luego volver a soltarlo antes de salir.

Cimetière où reposent en paix des personnes célèbres comme Dalida, Michel Berger, France Gall, Dick Rivers et plus récemment Bertrand Blier, mais aussi des personnes non célèbres.

Le cimetière est assez vaste et accueille aujourd'hui plus de 21 500 sépultures.

La particularité de ce cimetière est qu'un pont, nommé le pont Caulaincourt, permet le franchissement du cimetière de Montmartre.

À aller voir !

In Paris, where the dead reside with more panache than most cities house the living, Montmartre Cemetery offers a quieter alternative to the celebrity-packed pathways of Père Lachaise. Nestled in a former gypsum quarry below street level, this 11-acre necropolis feels like stumbling upon a secret garden of stone and memory—if gardens typically featured 20,000 graves and the occasional startled cat sunning itself on a faded epitaph.

Among the cemetery's residents—Degas, Berlioz, Zola (though he later moved to more prestigious posthumous digs at the Panthéon)—none makes quite the same visual statement as Jean Bauchet, former Moulin Rouge impresario and eternal bronze nudist.

Bauchet's monument in Division 29 delivers perhaps the most audaciously modern statement in a cemetery otherwise preoccupied with 19th-century romanticized death. The massive bronze figure—a muscular male nude perched in contemplation atop black marble—looks like Rodin's "Thinker" after six months of CrossFit and a lifetime of exhibitionism.

There's delicious irony here: a man who built his fortune on barely-dressed dancers at Paris's most famous cabaret being memorialized as eternally undressed himself. Before becoming the Moulin Rouge's owner, Bauchet had been an acrobatic dancer in his youth, a biographical detail the sculptor Bertrand Richard winkingly acknowledged through the figure's impossible physique. One imagines Toulouse-Lautrec, buried elsewhere in the same cemetery, appreciating the artistic cheek.

The statue, commissioned before Bauchet's death in 1975 and erected in 1989, reveals something about the vanities of entertainment moguls—that same driving need for posthumous attention that leads some to bronze themselves for eternity. While some cemetery visitors leave flowers for their deceased, Bauchet's monument practically flexes at them.

Montmartre Cemetery itself seems to encourage such theatrical gestures. Opened in 1825 as one of four great Parisian cemeteries established at the cardinal points of the city, it became the final address for the artistic souls who had made the butte of Montmartre their bohemian playground. The burial ground languishes quite literally in the shadow of modern Paris—sit at a sidewalk café on Rue Caulaincourt, and you're dining on a bridge directly above the dead.

Unlike its eastern counterpart Père Lachaise, with its manicured paths and tour groups hunting for Jim Morrison, Montmartre Cemetery maintains a disheveled charm. Maple and chestnut trees push between plots, tombstones list at dubious angles, and paths occasionally disappear into overgrowth. Charles Baudelaire once wrote that "the form of a city changes faster than the human heart," but here, time seems deliciously suspended.

Bauchet's bronze oddity represents something essential about Paris itself—the city's perpetual tension between reverence for tradition and irrepressible innovation. In death as in life, Parisians refuse to follow anyone else's rules about good taste.

For visitors seeking this peculiar monument, the search becomes part of the pleasure. Wind through narrow alleys of stone, past elaborate family chapels and simple tablets, until suddenly—there he sits in all his bronze glory, an anatomically generous reminder that even cemetery tourism in Paris can offer unexpected entertainment.

An afternoon spent here reveals why Parisians have always treated their cemeteries as parks—places for contemplation, unexpected beauty, and occasional encounters with the absurd. Just as he once welcomed guests to his cabaret spectacles, Jean Bauchet now silently invites cemetery wanderers to appreciate his final performance piece: proof that in Paris, one's last statement can still raise eyebrows from beyond the grave.

L'endroit était très propre et cela m'a beaucoup impressionné. Cependant, les toilettes étaient très sales. Il y avait aussi un chat mignon avec lequel nous avons beaucoup joué.

????????????

Siempre que puedo y estoy en París, unas cuantas veces, siempre voy, me gusta es espectacular. Y muy recomendable.

Intéressant. Le souvenir de beaucoup de personnalités. Une oasis de calme , et de sécurité pour les piétons puisque vélos et trottinettes sont interdits.
Et des gardiens aimables .

有名人も眠っていますが、私は身内が眠って居るのでパリには墓参りに渡仏しています。
パリの喧騒を離れ時間がゆっくりと流れます。三十年前にパリ市内の墓地巡りをした事もありますが、様々なお墓がありこれも一つの観光と思う人もいるかも。

Super

Concession de Monsieur Jean Claude Brialy et de la Dame aux Camélias ainsi que François Truffaut

As a cemetery enthusiast, one of the best I have ever been to. Each grave is so beautiful and unique and holds so much history. It’s a very large cemetery so there’s so much to see! So many fun nooks to explore different views of it all. Not too many cats but that’s okay! I wish I could have spent longer here but just didn’t have the time. If i lived here or came back, I would love to take a longer stroll around, maybe find a bench with a pastry and some coffee and just enjoy the history of it all.

Lovely walkable museum

Cimetière gigantesque aux allées bien définies et rangées.
Vous y trouverez des tombes célèbres, des constructions surprenantes et évidemment des plus basiques. Certaines sont vraiment intéressantes à regarder.!
La balade en elle-même, bien que ce soit un cimetière je le rappelle est fort intéressante et on a plus l'impression de se retrouver à Paris sur le moment.
A faire si les cimetières ne vous font pas peur.

Eu nunca tinha feito um turismo em cemitério antes e só fui porque ficava próximo ao nosso hotel e meu marido queria muito ver como era. Como todo cemitério, é um ambiente energicamente pesado, mas com tumbas muito bonitas, destacando o famoso túmulo da Dalida (que parece que ela está ali em pé nos olhando). Foi triste de ver muitos entes da mesma família morrendo no mesmo período (provavelmente por causa das pestes). No geral, apesar de sinistro, foi interessante.

Sympa mais ça coute très cher d'avoir une tombe ici
