Cimetière de Charonne, Historic cemetery in 20th arrondissement, France

The Charonne Cemetery surrounds Saint-Germain-de-Charonne Church and contains 650 graves distributed across 41 distinct sections within its 0.41-hectare grounds.

The cemetery maintained its original location despite the 1804 decree that prohibited burials within city walls, making it one of the last Parisian cemeteries adjacent to a parish church.

The bronze sculptures and artistic tombstones throughout the cemetery display the evolution of French funerary art through different historical periods.

The cemetery, managed by the Paris Municipality, is located at 119 rue de Bagnolet and can be reached through the local public transportation network.

The cemetery contains the tomb of Bègue Magloire, secretary to Robespierre, marked by a notable bronze sculpture erected in 1833.
