Montparnasse Cemetery Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The Montparnasse Cemetery is one of the three major cemeteries in Paris alongside the Pere Lachaise Cemetery and the Montmartre Cemetery. It is the burial place of many French literary and artistic elites. Realist writer Maupassant, poet Baudelaire, mathematician Poincaré, automobile engineer Citroën, existentialist writer Sartre and his wife Beauvoir, sociologist Durkheim, New Wave director and writer Duras, etc. sleep here. The tombs of Sartre and Beauvoir can be seen at the entrance of the north gate. Nothing is written except their names and dates of birth and death. The white tombstone is clean and solemn, and may be the simpler one in the entire cemetery. This is one of the reasons why many people come to this cemetery. The Montparnasse Cemetery is more intimate than the Lachaise Cemetery. In addition to celebrities, you can see more mundane tombstones like "The Tomb of the Bookstore Owner and Publisher". In addition, Montparnasse is more Parisian, more compassionate towards losers and strangers. Montparnasse cemetery is also a place to commemorate the Paris police and firefighters who died in the line of duty.

One of the famous cemeteries in Paris, where Sartre and Vopova, familiar to the Chinese, also sleep, is a cemetery where the elite of the literary and artistic circles gather, so many of their fans come to pay homage to them.
This is one of the three cemeteries in Paris. I think it's also the most beautiful one among the three cemeteries. It deserves to be a place where a lot of knowledge and literary elites are buried. It's as comfortable as a big park.
I went to Montparnasse Cemetery and found the joint grave of Sartre and Beauvoir. I remember what Beauvoir wrote for him when Sartre died - "His death separates us, and my death will reunite us.
It turned out that not only Wilde's tomb, but also Beauvoir's tomb on the Sartre River was covered with kisses. I only saw Sartpovova, Duras and Ionesco for half a day. I hope I can find Pan Yuliang if I have the chance to go again.
Some people say that Montparnasse Cemetery is the most literary cemetery. Many famous writers are buried here. Besides visiting celebrity tombstones along the intersection signs, ordinary people's tombstones here often attract me to stop. Sometimes it's surprising when the owner was born, sometimes it's because of beautiful mosaic photos, sometimes it's because of the tombstone itself.
Similar to Lachez Cemetery, Cimeti üredu Montparnasse Montparnasse Cemetery embodies strong humanistic feelings and is the place where many celebrities sleep. Novelist Maupassant, poet Baudelaire, Vopova, mathematician Pengale, philosopher Jean Paul Sartre and others'cemeteries are all here for future generations to hang on.
The cemetery is quite good. It's quite big. Once inside, it's like remembering the zombie blockbusters in Europe and America. Many of the crosses are looking a little gloomy there. But there is a real sense of immersion, where local intellectuals are buried.
