Panteón Francés

Historic cemetery in Mexico City, Mexico

Not to be confused with Panteón Francés de San Joaquín.

The Panteón Francés de la Piedad ("French Cemetery of the Mercy") is a cemetery in Mexico City in which several notable people are interred.[1] It is located in the southern section of the city, adjacent to the medical center, the Centro Medico Metro station, and the Colonia Buenos Aires neighborhood.[1] Note that there is another "Panteón Francés" in the northwest section of the city, near Panteones metro station; not the same cemetery.

The cemetery has hundreds of lovely mortuary statues, but access to see them is restricted to family members; the property is securely fenced and the only entrance is guarded.
