People buried there include French singers Dalida and Fanny Heldy, composers Michel Berger and Maurice Jaubert, actors Jaques Charon and Dominique Laffin, authors Jules de Goncourt and Marcel Jouhandeau and painter and sculptor Edgar Degas. The original grave of author Émile Zola is still there with his name on it.

Montmartre Cemetery is a cemetery in the 18th arrondissement of Paris, France, that dates to the early 19th century. Officially known as the Cimitière du Nord, it is the third largest necropolis in Paris, after the Père Lachaise cemetery and the Montparnasse cemetery.
In the mid-18th century, overcrowding in the cemeteries of Paris had created numerous problems, from impossibly high funeral costs to unsanitary living conditions in the surrounding neighborhoods.
In the 1780s, the Cimetière des Innocents was officially closed and citizens were banned from burying corpses within the city limits of Paris. During the early 19th century, new cemeteries were constructed outside the precincts of the capital: Montmartre in the north, Père Lachaise Cemetery in the east, Passy Cemetery in the west and Montparnasse Cemetery in the south.
The Montmartre Cemetery was opened on January 1, 1825. It was initially known as la Cimetière des Grandes Carrières (Cemetery of the Large Quarries). The name referenced the cemetery's unique location, in an abandoned gypsum quarry. The quarry had previously been used during the French Revolution as a mass grave.
It was built below street level, in the hollow of an abandoned gypsum quarry located west of the Butte near the beginning of Rue Caulaincourt in Place de Clichy. As is still the case today, its sole entrance was constructed on Avenue Rachel under Rue Caulaincourt. A popular tourist destination, Montmartre Cemetery is the final resting place of many famous artists who lived and worked in the Montmartre area.
( Paris - France ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Paris . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Paris - France

Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, France
A twenty-minute visit to the world's most famous cemetery, Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, France. More than a million people have been buried at Père Lachaise, and its tombs are among the most artistic and varied that you'll find anywhere. It's also a quiet, pleasant place for a stroll or a rest—if you don't mind being surrounded by dead bodies.
This video shows how to reach the cemetery, and shows examples of some of the many varied tombs within. It also shows a random handful of celebrity tombs, and a selection of memorial monuments. It's not an inventory of famous dead people or funereal art, just a sampler of what you can see at the cemetery—enough to show why it is such a popular tourist destination.
I've included some very simple narration in the closed captions, but it's not very interesting. The actual audio in the video is sound from the cemetery—and the cemetery is very quiet most of the time, so you'll have to crank it if you want to hear anything (mostly wind in the trees).
