Cimetière du Montparnasse

3 bd Edgar-Quinet, 14th

This 1,800-acre cemetery was formed by commandeering three farms in 1824. As with much of the Left Bank, the Montparnasse cemetery scores highly for literary credibility: Samuel Beckett, Charles Baudelaire, Sartre, de Beauvoir and Maupassant all repose here, as do Serge Gainsbourg and actress Jean Seberg.
