It\u2019s called Saint Vincent\u2019s and it is located just east of the main cemetery. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top10\/top-5-favorite-places-to-stay-in-montmartre\/\">Montmartre<\/a> Cemetery is on the western side of the district. It is home to 20,000 residents \u2014 making it the third largest cemetery in all of Â鶹APP. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The cemetery has a long history within the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/10-english-sayings-that-dont-work-in-french\/\">French<\/a> capital. Here are five historic facts that you may not know. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s2\">1. <\/span><span class=\"s1\">The Cemetery of Montmartre was Created to Manage Overcrowding <\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The 18th century in Â鶹APP was a tumultuous time during which the deceased people of the city were buried on regular parish <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/a-list-of-beautiful-churches-in-paris-you-didnt-know\/\">church<\/a> grounds. Eventually, these ground started to become overcrowded which lead to sanitation issues around the various arrondissements. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The city of Â鶹APP began implementing a new cemetery plan that would eventually roll out in the 19th century.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17244\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17244\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17244\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/cimetiere_de_montmartre_-_en_flanant_..._-14.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/cimetiere_de_montmartre_-_en_flanant_..._-14.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/cimetiere_de_montmartre_-_en_flanant_..._-14-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/cimetiere_de_montmartre_-_en_flanant_..._-14-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17244\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Montmartre Cemetery &#8211; by MOSSOT &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Cimeti\u00e8re_de_Montmartre_-_En_fl\u00e2nant_..._-14.JPG\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The plan involved the construction of large cemetery facilities at the four coordinates of Â鶹APP. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top10\/top-10-picnic-spots-in-montmartre-paris\/\">Montmartre<\/a> Cemetery was one of them, and as mentioned the third biggest out the lot. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The parish church burials of Â鶹APP were closed down and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top10\/top-10-things-to-do-in-montmartre\/\">Montmartre<\/a> Cemetery officially took over in 1825. It remains the major cemetery of the north despite smaller burial grounds popping up in the surrounding areas. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">2. It Was Once a Mass Gave Site<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The cemetery opened on the 1st of January in 1825. It was first called the Cemetery of Large Quarries due to the specific location of the grounds. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The land on which the cemetery still exists today was once an abandoned gypsum quarry. During the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-5-fun-facts-about-the-french-revolution\/\">French Revolution<\/a> the quarry was used as a mass grave for all who lost their lives during this time.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17243\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17243\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17243\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/800px-monmartre_cemetery.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/800px-monmartre_cemetery.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/800px-monmartre_cemetery-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/800px-monmartre_cemetery-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17243\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Montmartre Cemetery &#8211; by Elisabetta Cipolla, Tantalas &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Monmartre_Cemetery.JPG\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Over the years the Cemetery of Large Quarries slowly became known on the streets as Montmartre Cemetery. Perhaps the large quarry label was triggering to those who lost loved ones in the mass gravesite. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Its location on Montmartre hill makes it a sought after tourist destination in the city of Â鶹APP . Its large size is able to accommodate visitors throughout the year, with ample space in which to laze on open patches amongst the graves under the Â鶹APPian sun. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p7\"><span class=\"s1\">3. Many Montmartre Based Artists are Buried There<\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Montmartre remained the district of the artists throughout the 19th century. Cost of living was cheap and artists enjoyed the proximity of the neighborhood to the playground of Â鶹APP: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/top-5-bars-in-pigalle\/\">Pigalle<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Eventually when these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/the-parisian-artists-of-the-lost-generation\/\">artists<\/a> passed away it was part of their wishes to be buried in the cemetery of their beloved Montmartre. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Painters <\/span><span class=\"s4\">Gustave Moreau<\/span><span class=\"s5\"> and <\/span><span class=\"s4\">Horace Vernet<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> are buried there. They were two of the first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/5-artists-homes-you-can-visit-in-paris\/\">artists<\/a> to live in Montmartre in the 19th century.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17241\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17241\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17241\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/800px-cimetiere_de_montmartre_001.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/800px-cimetiere_de_montmartre_001.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/800px-cimetiere_de_montmartre_001-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/800px-cimetiere_de_montmartre_001-768x510.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-17241\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Montmartre Cemetery &#8211; by Moonik &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Cimeti\u00e8re_de_Montmartre_001.JPG\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Another influential artists in Â鶹APP during the 18th century, Fragonard, once had a grave in the Montmartre Cemetery. Sometime in the 19th century, however, his grave mysteriously went missing. Yes, missing. The mystery was never solved and today the barren grave is marked with a memorial plaque instead. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p8\"><span class=\"s6\">Writers and poets are also included in the mix at the cemetery. T<\/span><span class=\"s4\">h\u00e9ophile Gautier<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> was on of the most successful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/where-to-eat-traditional-french-cuisine-in-paris\/\">French<\/a> poets of all time, you can view his grave on the grounds. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4 class=\"p7\"><span class=\"s1\">4. There Has Only Ever Been One Entrance to the Montmartre Cemetery <\/span><\/h4>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Since the cemetery grounds were opened in 1825 the preemies has only ever had one entrance and exit. This can be found on Avenue Rachel just under Rue Caulaincourt. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This is the only cemetery in Â鶹APP that has never added additional entry points to the grounds as years have gone by.
