Neuilly-sur-Seine community cemetery

The Neuilly-sur-Seine community cemetery holds a distinct, dense arrangement of white stone vaults and family chapels that crowd the narrow paths. Established in eighteen hundred and eight, the cemetery reflects the rapid growth of this area when it shifted from a rural village into a bourgeois suburb of Paris. Among the thousands resting here is the artist Wassily Kandinsky, who spent his final years in the neighborhood during the Second World War. His grave remains a quiet, frequent destination for those wandering the grid.
