Cimetière des Carmes, Historic cemetery in Clermont-Ferrand, France.

Cimetière des Carmes is a cemetery in Clermont-Ferrand covering eleven hectares, with six thousand burial plots and one hundred eight paths. It is split in two by the Tiretaine river, and most tombs and chapels built before the mid-1940s use dark grey Volvic stone (andesite), giving the grounds a uniform appearance. It also contains military squares and three war memorials.

The cemetery was established in 1816 on the grounds of a former Carmelite monastery and expanded in 1846 and 1908 to support the city's growth. These expansions show how burial practices and space adapted to accommodate an increasing population.

The cemetery's name comes from the Discalced Carmelites, who received the Chantoin abbey in 1637 at the urging of Bishop Joachim d'Estaing. The order's former church, built from 1752 in a quatrefoil plan with a dome rebuilt in the 19th century, stands left of the main entrance; it lost its religious use in the early 20th century and serves as a warehouse. Many streets and graves recall Clermont mayors buried here, from Antoine Blatin to Alexandre Varenne, founder of La Montagne.

The cemetery lies on eleven hectares split by the Tiretaine, with the oldest graves south of the river and the Pré-Bertrand section opened in 1908 to the north. A small Jewish square separated by a grille is managed by the consistory. The main entrance stands beside the former Carmelite church, now a warehouse, on the left of the gate.

The Tiretaine does not divide the cemetery into old and new halves: until the 1908 extension the grounds lay on one bank only, and the Pré-Bertrand sector opened that year north of the river. The stream therefore marks the limit of the pre-1908 cemetery.
