Cimetiere de Terre-Cabade Grenoble

Located high above the town, many people see this vast necropolis as akin to a city within a city. The richly decorated tombs here are surrounded with magnolia and cypress trees. This spectacular site also offers the visitors a great view of the city found below. The Virebents, an important family of sculptors and architects who are locals of Toulouse, are buried here, among other famous residents of the city. The Terre-Salonique, which is the second part of the cemetery, was mainly reserved for the graves of the military. Here you will find a WWI memorial and a monument meant to commemorate French colonial soldiers.
