Talk:Montmartre Cemetery

Address
The address does not appear to match where Google Maps shows Cimitiere de Montmarte (no Avenue Samson, it looks like, and Rue Samson is near Cimitiere Montparnasse).
 * Current address might be on one of Rue Joseph de Maistre, Rue Calaincourt, Rue Ganneron, or Rue Etex. Mapquest agrees, but calls the last one Rue de Barriere Blanche. DPS
 * The adress is : Avenue Rachel —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.251.119.208 (talk) 10:57, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The main entrance to the Cimetière de Montmartre is on Avenue Rachel, officially at number 20. You can take the Metro to Blanche, it is only a short walk from there. When you exit Blanche station you will also get a good view of the Moulin Rouge. A good description of the cemetery and the other cemeteries of Paris can be found on the Paris website (because this website keeps changing, I have removed the link). There used to be a file containing a plan of the cemetery (in pdf).
 * A viaduct has been built right across the cemetery. This is the Rue Caulaincourt. There are steps leading down to Avenue Rachel.
 * I would agree that the official entrance is on Avenue Rachel. And there are indeed steps leading down from the Rue Caulaincourt, the viaduct is actually quite a good viewing platform for seeing parts of the cemetery. Aptly named after Mademoiselle Rachel (who ironically is buried in Père Lachaise Cemetery). The cemetery is well worth a visit. When you vist the Rue des Gardes to see the monument to Dalida, take a good look at the other monuments, they are well worth the trouble. What I find interesting is that there is no mention of the gate on this "road" in the cemetery. That gate is only openend to the public on very special occasions. If you have time, it is also wortwhile to visit Saint-Vincent Cemetery which is nearby. You will pass it if you are going to visit such landmarks as Place du Tertre and the Sacré-Cœur. Have a look at or visit the "Lapin Agile", a famous public house in Montmartre while you are there. Across the street is the only vineyard in Paris. --JHvW (talk) 08:09, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Photographs
I have uploaded several pictures for illustration purposes (embellishment of this article). They have been removed because there is no freedom of panorama in France. Yet the article contains pictures which fall under the same copyright issues. What is one to do?

To which I would add that the French Wikipedia does not seem to take such a strict view. --JHvW (talk) 11:18, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
