About Père Lachaise Cemetery
Père Lachaise Cemetery is the largest and most famous cemetery in Paris, sprawling across 44 hectares in the 20th arrondissement. Opened in 1804, it was designed by architect Alexandre-Théodore Brongniart in the English landscape garden style, with winding pathways shaded by over 5,000 mature trees and lined with elaborate tombs ranging from simple headstones to ornate Gothic chapels.

When Père Lachaise first opened in 1804, Parisians were reluctant to be buried so far from the city center. To boost its popularity, the authorities transferred the remains of Molière and Jean de La Fontaine there in 1817, and the strategy worked brilliantly — burials surged almost immediately.
