 +:''[[Montmartre]]''
 +'''Montmartre Cemetery''' ([[French language|Fr]]: Cimetière de Montmartre) is a [[List of famous cemeteries|famous cemetery]] located at 37 Avenue Samson, in the [[18ème arrondissement, Paris|18<sup>th</sup> ''arrondissement'']] of [[Paris]], [[France]].
 +
 +Cemeteries had been banned from Paris since the shutting down of the Cimetière des Innocents in 1786, as they presented health hazards. Several new cemeteries replaced all the Parisian ones, outside the precincts of the capital, in the early 19<sup>th</sup> century: Montmartre in the north, [[Père Lachaise Cemetery|Père-Lachaise Cemetery]] in the east, [[Passy Cemetery]] in the west and [[Montparnasse Cemetery]] in the south.
 +
 +Located west of the ''Butte'', near the beginning of Rue Caulaincourt in ''[[Clichy-sous-Bois|Place Clichy]]'', the cemetery in the [[Montmartre]] quarter of Paris is built below street level in the hollow of an old [[quarry]] with its entrance on Avenue Rachel under Rue Caulaincourt. The cemetery epitomizes the artsy, quixotic, gentle, almost whimsical Paris that every romantic visitor secretly cherishes.
 +
 +A popular tourist destination, it is the final resting place for many famous artists who lived and worked in the Montmartre area. A few of the famous buried in the Montmartre Cemetery are:
