Batignolles Cemetery

Batignolles Cemetery

The Batignolles Cemetery (French: Cimetière des Batignolles) is a cemetery in Paris, located in the Épinettes district, in the northeastern part of the 17th arrondissement.

Extending over nearly eleven hectares, slightly larger than the Montmartre Cemetery, Batignolles Cemetery contains approximately fifteen thousand graves, and it is the fourth cemetery of Paris, in terms of the number of graves. In terms of land area, only the Père Lachaise Cemetery and the Montparnasse Cemetery are larger.[1] Within its perimeter, there are approximately nine hundred mature trees, mostly chestnuts and maples.

It opened on 22 August 1833, and it is now the home for the earthly remains of André Breton, Gaston Calmette, Blaise Cendrars, Benjamin Péret, and Paul Verlaine, among others.[1]
