“A drinking fountain in a cemetery?” someone whispered. We are standing here at the entrance to the Cimetière d’Emerainville. You might find this ironic or even eerie. But it’s a testament to the thoughtful design of this resting place. The Cimetière d’Emerainville is located on Boulevard de Beaubourg. This boulevard encircles the Lognes Aerodrome. You can easily spot the cemetery. Just look for a sign on the edge of the bike path. The cemetery itself is more than just a burial ground. It’s a place of peace and reflection. The presence of a drinking fountain, clearly marked with a sign, speaks to the attention given to even the smallest details. It’s a place where visitors can quench their thirst and perhaps reflect on the cycle of life and death.
