Cimetière protestant de Nîmes

Cimetière protestant de Nîmes, Protestant cemetery in Nîmes, France.

The Cimetière protestant de Nîmes is a walled burial ground at 17 bis avenue du Pasteur-Paul-Brunel, on the former route d'Alès. Its light stone entrance has a round-arched gateway with dark green double doors, a triangular gable with a carved finial, and a band of small arches. Inside are about 6,000 graves, of which 2,720 are still active.

Louis XVI authorised the cemetery in 1776, on vineyard and olive plots outside Nîmes, but the first burial did not take place until 1782. It is the oldest collective Protestant cemetery in France and has been listed as a monument historique since 2001. It holds nearly 6,000 graves, of which 2,720 are still in use.

The cemetery holds the graves of Nîmes figures such as economist Charles Gide, poet Francis Ponge, architect Henri-Jacques Espérandieu and manadière Fanfonne Guillierme. Their tombs, among nearly 6,000, make the site a record of the city's Protestant families and notable residents.

The cemetery lies at 17 bis avenue du Pasteur-Paul-Brunel, formerly the route d'Alès, on the northern edge of Nîmes. The entrance is the round-headed gateway with a dark green double door set in the light stone facade, topped by a triangular gable. The grounds hold close to 6,000 graves, of which 2,720 are still in use, so allow time to walk the sections.

A statue representing Immortality, created by sculptor Pradier in the early 1800s, stands as a focal point within the cemetery. This sculpture was formally recognized as a historical monument in 1911 and remains one of the site's most noteworthy artworks.
