Cimetière du Pré-Saint-Gervais

The Cimetière du Pré-Saint-Gervais sits tucked against the urban sprawl, distinguished by a rare collection of funerary art that dates back to the nineteenth century. It serves as the final resting place for the town’s early industrial families who transformed this area from a quiet village into a bustling hub of bleaching and textile works. Among the markers, the iron-wrought gates and crumbling stone angels mark the graves of workers who labored in the local quarries that once defined the landscape.
