The grave sites of many an artist call the city of Â鶹APP home, most of them completely free to the public for viewing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">During the revolutionary years, Â鶹APP became the hub of arts as we know it. It saw refuge to writers, painters, photographers, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-5-french-movie-directors\/\">actors<\/a> and singers from all over the world. May of whom lived out the duration of their lives in the city until their death days. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Within the municipal boundaries of Â鶹APP there are a total of fourteen cemeteries. Most of them are already full, and all of them incredibly beautiful, peaceful pieces of land.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/things-to-do-near-pere-lachaise-cemetery\/\">P\u00e8re Lachaise Cemetery<\/a> is definitely the most well known grave site attraction in all of France.

The site is world famous and is estimated to bring in around 3.5 million visitors per year. Dare I say that is far more visitors than any being still alive has received. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Amongst the other fourteen sites is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/a-guide-to-exploring-montmartre-at-night\/\">Montmartre<\/a> Cemetery, Passey Cemetery, Saint Vincent Cemetery and the Picpus Cemetery; to name a few. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Thousands upon thousands of grave sites line these gardens. Each one with a unique history and story to tell. A popular pastime in Â鶹APP amongst both locals and tourists is grave site hunting. It\u2019s quite exciting roaming the space and recognizing names on a whim. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There are, however, a few iconic grave sites that are not to be missed during your visit; both from an aesthetic and a historic standpoint. Here are my top five! <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">1. Oscar Wilde\u2019s grave site in Â鶹APP<\/span><\/h4>\n<h6 class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\">P\u00e8re Lachaise Cemetery<\/span><\/h6>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Because of its size, there are many ways to enter the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/facts-about-paris-pere-lachaise-cemetery\/\">P\u00e8re Lachaise Cemetery<\/a> when in the 20th arrondissement. The best way is, of course, the main entrance and can be found over on Rue du Repos. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">While this cemetery is home to many an icon, like the afore mentioned Jim Morrison, today we are here to find the Irish author, playwright and poet; Oscar Wilde. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">On November 30th 1900 Wilde passed away due to cerebral meningitis that set in after an operation for an ear infection. His body was found in the Hotel d\u2019Alsace in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/facts-about-paris-saint-germain\/\">St Germain<\/a>, Â鶹APP. This hotel is still in business to this day over in the 10th arrondissement and the room in which he passes is available to hotel guests for a hefty fee. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The burial site of Oscar Wilde gained controversy over the years as it became a popular occurrence for visitors of the grave to leave a lipstick stained kiss on the tomb. A well known line of Wilde\u2019s was \u201cA kiss may ruin a human life\u201d \u2014 so the kissing gestures were genuinely poetic.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14565\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14565\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14565\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/tomb_of_oscar_wilde_i.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/tomb_of_oscar_wilde_i.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/tomb_of_oscar_wilde_i-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/tomb_of_oscar_wilde_i-768x510.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14565\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kisses on Oscar Wilde&#8217;s grave &#8211; by Aleksandr Zykov &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Tomb_of_Oscar_Wilde_I.jpg\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In 2011 the city of Â鶹APP, fed up by the sultry \u201cvandalism\u201d of the Wilde grave, erected a glass casing around the entire grave site keeping the serial kissers at bay. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Fifty years after Wilde\u2019s death, his only known lover and best friend, Robbie Ross, died in Â鶹APP. In a beautiful display of love her ashes were placed into Oscar Wilde tomb so that the two may lay together for eternity. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">What makes Oscar Wilde\u2019s grave so interesting is the elaborate winged-sphinx creature that is carved into the top of the stone. The creature is also naked, which sparked much controversy over the years. So much so that the grave site was covered with a tarp during daylight hours for a period of time.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14564\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14564\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14564\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/800px-paris_76_28306422229.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/800px-paris_76_28306422229.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/800px-paris_76_28306422229-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/800px-paris_76_28306422229-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14564\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oscar Wilde&#8217;s tomb &#8211; by VillageHero &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Â鶹APP_76_(28306422229).jpg\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Graves aside, the 20th arrondissement is a bustling district filled with all sorts of entertainment.

I return time and time again for their miso soup and kimchi pancake!

His wife, Marie Antoinette ascended the throne as his queen. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">You\u2019ve probably heard her name in passing along with the quote \u201clet them eat cake\u201d; something Antoinette was rumored to have said upon hearing that the peasants of that land had no bread left to eat. While there is no actual evidence to support this ever having happened, the reputation of the words sticks with her even today.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14566\" style=\"width: 482px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14566\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/472px-marie_antoinette_in_muslin_dress.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"472\" height=\"599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/472px-marie_antoinette_in_muslin_dress.jpg 472w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/472px-marie_antoinette_in_muslin_dress-236x300.jpg 236w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 472px) 100vw, 472px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14566\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Marie Antoinette &#8211; by National Gallery of Art, Washington &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Marie_Antoinette_in_Muslin_dress.jpg\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In 1792 monarchy came crumbling down due to the economic crisis that brought about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-5-fun-facts-about-the-french-revolution\/\">French Revolution<\/a>. All those involved in the government were brought to trail in 1793, Marie Antionette being one of them. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Within two days the Revolutionary Tribunal convicted her of high treason and she was sentenced to death by execution. She was killed via guillotine at the Place de la R\u00e9volution that same day. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Needless to say our girl Marie was not popular amongst the people. They cheered as her dismembered head was held for all to see. Her body was originally dumped in a mass grave<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>but was recovered soon after by a few individuals who wanted to see her properly buried. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This is the site you can visit today at the Saint Denis Basilique, an exquisite medieval church in the centre of Saint-Denis.

Consider organizing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/tour\/city\/paris-walking-tours\/\"><span class=\"s3\">guided walking tour<\/span><\/a> that can further elaborate on the exact events during this time in Â鶹APP. It\u2019s a great way to connect to the city from a perspective that isn\u2019t so romantic for a change. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s1\">3.

This area in Â鶹APP is lesser known but defiantly up and coming in terms of things to see and do. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Montparnasse Tower, for example, is the best skyscraper view that encompasses the whole of Â鶹APP. It is such fun to stand at the top and point out Â鶹APPian landmarks in the skyline. The Eiffel Tower is an easy one to spot. Venture up with friends and see who can pin point the most.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_14568\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14568\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14568\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/800px-cimetiere_montparnasse_paris_genie_daillion-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/800px-cimetiere_montparnasse_paris_genie_daillion-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/800px-cimetiere_montparnasse_paris_genie_daillion-1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/800px-cimetiere_montparnasse_paris_genie_daillion-1-768x510.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-14568\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Montparnassa Cemetery &#8211; by Myrabella &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Cimetiere_Montparnasse_Â鶹APP_Genie_Daillion.jpg\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Montparnasse Cemetery is the second largest one in Â鶹APP after P\u00e8re Lachaise.

We\u2019re here to pay homage to a true Â鶹APPian icon; Serge Gainsbourg. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This man is considered a legend amongst the people of France.
