Père Lachaise Cemetery
Père Lachaise Cemetery, in the city of Paris, France, has more than 3.5 million visitors, making it the most visited cemetery in the world. Established in 1804, the grave sites at Père Lachaise range from a simple, unadorned headstone to towering monuments and even elaborate mini chapels dedicated to the memory of a well-known person or family. Many of the tombs are about the size and shape of a telephone booth, with just enough space for a mourner to step inside, kneel to say a prayer, and leave some flowers.
