Cimetiere du Nord, Reims

Beautiful and peaceful cemetery

This cemetery is an open-air museum. The "historic heart" of the place is full of very old tombs and other chapels. The other more recent part has little interest except to honor the graves of soldiers who fell during the two world wars. Many busts, and other ironwork have unfortunately disappeared, stolen by people who I hope will not take them to paradise... small flat the entrance where the caretaker lives and which seems abandoned... a little touch of brooms and a minimum of order would seem to me appreciable and appreciated.
