Cimetière du Père-Lachaise

Opened in 1804, Père-Lachaise is the largest and most visited cemetery in the world — a romantic, tree-lined city of the dead spread over 44 hilly hectares. Among its elaborate tombs rest Jim Morrison, Oscar Wilde, Frédéric Chopin, Edith Piaf and Marcel Proust. Free to wander.
