Cimetière de Montmartre
Cimetière de Montmartre Review
Overshadowed by better-known Père-Lachaise, this cemetery is just as picturesque. It's the final resting place of a host of luminaries, including painters Degas and Fragonard; Adolphe Sax, inventor of the saxophone; dancer Vaslav Nijinsky; and composers Hector Berlioz and Jacques Offenbach. The Art Nouveau tomb of novelist Émile Zola (1840-1902) lords over a lawn near the entrance—though Zola's remains were removed to the Panthéon in 1908.
