The Grand JAS cemetery has existed since the end of the 19th century. Huge: 9 hectares. Beautiful statues. Some give you the chills: especially the mourners. Moving epitaphes. It is composed of several "neighborhoods": Russian, English, Jew, squares of fighters of different wars. It is wonderfully maintained and highlighted. A few small animals such as rabbits and Red squirrels walk around quietly. Several celebrities are buried there: Fabergé, prosper Merimé, Martine Carol, Lily Pons, Jacques Monod, Louis Pastour, Victor Tuby, Georges Guétary and many more. To visit!See original
