Cimetière de la Madeleine

480, rue Saint-Maurice, 80000 AMIENS, Somme, Hauts-de-France

Somme
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.
