Cimetière St-Vincent is a small, 1.5-acre cemetery with around a hundred graves. It was opened on January 5, 1831 as the second cemetery in Montmartre after Cimetière du Calvaire had been filled.
Cimetière St-Vincent is sometimes called ‘the most intellectual cemetery in Paris’ because artists and writers are buried there, among others Maurice Utrillo, Théopile-Alexandre Steinien, Arthur Honegger, Marcel Aymé, Marcel Carné and Jean-François Delmas.
