“A final resting place under the Parisian sky,” you might think, standing before the entrance to the Cimetière Nouveau de Noisy-le-Grand. This cemetery, tucked away in the quiet outskirts of the city, may not be as famed as Père Lachaise, but it holds its own stories. The Cimetière Nouveau de Noisy-le-Grand is a relatively modern addition to the landscape. It stands as a testament to the ever-growing city and the lives that have unfolded within its embrace. Unlike older Parisian cemeteries that often feel crowded and almost overflowing, Cimetière Nouveau de Noisy-le-Grand has a sense of peace and space. While you won’t find grand mausoleums of famous historical figures here, look closer. You’ll discover something quite unique. The grave of Georges Poujouly, a French actor perhaps best known for his childhood role in the film “Forbidden Games”. His resting place serves as a reminder that even within the quietude, stories of art and passion find their way to the Cimetière Nouveau de Noisy-le-Grand.
