Montrouge Cemetery

Cemetery in Paris, France


48°49′20″N 2°19′9″E Montrouge Cemetery (French: Cimetière de Montrouge) is a cemetery in the south of the 14th arrondissement of Paris, located between the Boulevards of the Marshals and Boulevard Périphérique. It was created in 1819 in the commune of Montrouge, but was transferred to the City of Paris in 1925 following a border change.

Whilst the most visited grave is that of Coluche, there are many other graves of interest,[1] as well as a crypt. Despite being a Parisian cemetery, the influence of Montrouge is noteworthy, most notably through the granite stele commemorating 96 soldiers from Montrouge fallen on World War I battlegrounds.
