Opened in 1831 and located on the backside of the butte on which sits Sacre Coeur, the 1.5-acre Saint-Vincent cemetery contains sculptures of both flights of fancy and whimsy. As a result of its hidden location, the cemetery is often overlooked by the casual tourist eager to explore the wonders of nearby Montmartre. For the curious traveler, it can be a haven of respite from the press of tourist flesh on the Place du Tertre.
