Paris is filled with famous final
resting places:
The underground, mystifying Catacombs
Pere Lechaise – covering more than 100
acres and filled with unforgettable personalities from Oscar Wilde to Jim
Morrison.
Montmartre, with some celebrity tombs
and well, the charm of Montmartre.
But for people with disabilities,
Montparnasse is the place to be.
The Catacombs, down hundreds of steps;
Pere Lechaise, with harsh cobblestones to roll over and some hills; and Montmartre,
one of the hilliest places in the City of Light.
Montparnasse is paved, most of it is on
quite level ground and it even has a fully-accessible restroom at the main
entrance.
A laminated, borrow and return large
map leads you to all the famous interred here.
Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Samuel
Beckett, Porforio Diaz, Serge Gainsbourg, Man Ray, Susan Sontag and Tristan
Tzara provide plenty of star power resting in peace.
Paris’ second largest cemetery also
has the only moulin (mill) left of 30 that used to stand on the farming plain
of Montrouge.
