Cimetière St-Vincent

Because of the artists and writers who have their resting places in the modest burial ground of St-Vincent, with a view of Sacré-Coeur on the hill, it's sometimes called "the most intellectual cemetery in Paris" -- but that epithet seems more apt for other graveyards. Artists Maurice Utrillo and Théopile-Alexandre Steinien were buried here, as was musician Arthur Honegger and writer Marcel Aymé. In theory, the cemetery is open all day, but if you disturb the caretaker's lunch -- any time from noon to 2pm -- you'll regret it.
