Dive into the heart of funerary art, where symbols, materials and remarkable tombs in the cemetery will reveal themselves to you.
This stroll will introduce you to "reading" a funerary monument: recognising the materials, deciphering the epitaphs and understanding the symbolic codes of the tombs. Then let yourself be surprised by some of the most unusual graves, such as those of Octave de Rochebrune, Jean Chevolleau or the so-called "Napoleonic" tomb. An invitation to discover the cemetery as an artistic, memorial and deeply human space.
