Much more than a cemetery, the Madeleine is a remarkable garden where nature and culture are discovered at the bend of winding paths. Subtly combining the charm of a romantic garden and the interest of a museum of funerary art, the cemetery of the Madeleine brings together the graves of many Amiens personalities of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Let yourself be seduced by an original walk in the heart of an amazing atmosphere!

Hauts-de-France

The abrupt site, done up by the architect Augustus Cheussey from 1827, became an elegant English-style park where plains confide in the course of sinuous paths, of groves and hundred-year-old trees. Alloying subtly the charm of a romantic garden and the interest of a museum of funeral art, the cemetery of Madeleine gathers(combines) the graves of many amiénoises personalities of the XIXth and XXth centuries. Of an area of more than 18 hectares today, he(it) continues to surprise and to entice.
