Chartreuse Cemetery, Historical cemetery in Bordeaux, France.

Chartreuse Cemetery is a historical burial ground in Bordeaux laid out across spacious grounds filled with stone monuments, pyramids, and burial chapels of varying sizes. The site is organized with clear pathways that guide visitors through different sections, making it easy to explore the architectural styles and craftsmanship of the tombs.

Chartreuse Cemetery was laid out at the end of the 18th century in the gardens of the former Carthusian monastery. The land had been a marsh until Cardinal-Archbishop François de Sourdis had it drained in 1610 with the help of the Carthusians, for whom he built the Notre-Dame-de-Miséricorde charterhouse; only its gateway survives, at the cemetery entrance. The site was classified as a historic monument on 8 April 1921. Around 1968 the war memorial of Bougie (now Béjaïa), Bordeaux's Algerian twin town, was moved here, with 24 bronze plaques naming the dead of 1914-1918 and 1939-1945.

The cemetery's name comes from the Chartreux monastery whose gardens it replaced; only the 1610 portal of Notre-Dame-de-Miséricorde survives at the entrance. Among the 19th-century tombs are several pyramids and very large vaults, and a monument honours Francisco Goya, whose body lies in Madrid. Flora Tristan, feminist writer and grandmother of Paul Gauguin, is buried here.

Tram line A serves the cemetery at the Gaviniès, Hôtel de Police and Saint-Bruno-Hôtel de Région stops. The grounds cover 25.7 hectares, so plan your route before entering. The 1610 gateway of the former Notre-Dame-de-Miséricorde charterhouse stands at the entrance; the Bougie war memorial, moved here around 1968, lies within the cemetery.

A memorial dedicated to Spanish painter Francisco Goya stands on these grounds, though his actual remains are buried in Madrid. This empty tomb marks a tribute to the artist's influence and the respect European cultures held for his legacy.
