Cemetery of PassyCemetery of Passy

Cimetiere de PassyCimetiere de Passy
France, Paris
The cemetery was opened in 1820 in a wealthy quarter on the right bank near the Champs Elysées, which made it the burial place of the Parisian aristocracy. This is the only Parisian cemetery with heated rooms.

After the First World War, a bas-relief of military glory was made on one of the cemetery walls.

Among the celebrities is the grave of Princess Brasova (1880-1952), the morganatic wife of Grand Duke Mikhail Alexandrovich.
The cemetery is arranged like a hanging garden, it rises above the Trocadero and is located directly at the Palace of Chaillot. In order to get into it, you need to go around the hill and go through the monumental gate created by the architect Berger. Passy Cemetery has only about two thousand graves.

Cemetery de Passy is quite small, located right next to the metro and the Trocadero. Despite the proximity of the colossal number of people who came to look at the Eiffel Tower, as well as the endless stream of cars and buses bringing tourists, the cemetery is quite quiet and calm, there were no people at all. It is little visited and practically unknown to tourists, although the proportion of great and famous citizens of France buried here is large. Officially, they began to bury on it from 1820, although before that there had already been a small necropolis since 1802.
