The Cimetière de la Villette is a small cemetery in Paris.
Location
The entrance to the cemetery is located at 46 Rue d'Hautpoul in the 19th arrondissement of Paris.
History
With an area of 1.13 ha, it was opened in 1828 and houses 2,500 graves. Initially the fourth cemetery of the commune of La Villette, it became the cemetery reserved for the burials of the inhabitants of the 19th arrondissement of Paris, after the annexation in 1860 of the commune of La Villette in Paris. Since 1880, it has only kept perpetual concessions. It is embellished with a hundred trees, maples, lime trees and chestnut trees.
It is located below the Allée Darius-Milhaud which follows the route of the old railway branch of the Chemin de fer de Petite Ceinture line leading to the Paris-Bestiaux and Paris-Abattoirs stations. It is visible from the latter through large openings made in the new perimeter wall.
