Cimetière des Carmes, Historic cemetery in Clermont-Ferrand, France.
The cemetery covers eleven hectares with six thousand burial plots connected by one hundred eight pathways among maple, cedar, and linden trees.
Established in 1816 on the grounds of a former Carmelite monastery, the cemetery expanded in 1846 and 1908 to accommodate the growing city needs.
The cemetery functions as an outdoor museum displaying neoclassical, neo-Gothic, neo-Roman, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco architectural styles through its monuments.
The cemetery maintains its original entrance gate and nineteenth-century enclosure, with separate sections for French, German, and Commonwealth military graves.
The Tiretaine River flows through the cemetery grounds, creating a natural boundary between the old and new sections since 1886.
