Cimetière de Montmartre was established in 1798 and is a mere 11-hectares...see if you recognize all the residents and what they were famous for....do post!
Edgar Degas....Painter and sculptor
François Truffaut, Film maker and one of the founders of the French New Wave
Vaslav Nijinski. Russian ballet dancer and choreographer....could dance en pointe...married but probably should not have given his tragic end.
Ludmilla Tchérina, Sculptor, author, actress....she was awarded Officier Legion d'honneur
I am sure she created her own headstone! and It appears they made a spelling error on her gravestone.
