Description
One of three cemeteries in Montmartre
The Cimetière St-Vincent was created in 1831 after the Calvary Cemetery became too full to bury anyone. It was one of the three cemeteries of Montmartre and covered 21 acres of land. Now it covers about 59 acres. It is the final resting place for many well-known writers and artists.
The Cimetiere St-Vincent offers a lovely view of The Sacre-Coeur and has over 900 graves in it. Famous writers that are interred here include Marcel Ayme, Roland Dorgeles, Gustave Victor Quinson. The graves of painters like Eugene Boudin, Theophile Steinlen, and Maurice Utrillo can also be located here.
