Montmartre Cemetery
In the heart of the city, join us for a visit to this most famous of places, where it's said there's not a soul to be seen. Yet it's also home to a host of cinephiles from another era: Georges Méliès, Sarah Bernhardt, Michel Legrand, Anna Karina and Jim Morrison. Often used as a set in the 7th art, it inspires international filmmakers who love to film this exceptional place known as much for the beauty of its landscapes as for its occupants. Let us guide you through the alleys and between the tombs on a two-hour stroll to discover cinema and its most illustrious representatives.
