(based on 2 user ratings)  EDITOR REVIEW: 20ème ARRONDISSEMENT. Named for Louis XIV's confessor, who once lived in the vicinity, this cemetery was established in 1804. It was planned as a repository for human remains when authorities sought to improve sanitation by moving graves from the center of the city to its outskirts. Now park-like in its appeal, Père Lachaise is a much-desired place to be buried. Within its bounds are the graves of Molière, Oscar Wilde, Jim Morrison, Chopin, Edith Piaf, Sarah Bernhardt, Marcel Proust, and other famous figures. Stately trees and beautiful memorials add to the cemetery's present-day calm. METRO: Père Lachaise, Philippe Auguste 10Best User Reviews
