 Maupassant, Baudelaire, Jean Seberg... |
3 Boulevard Edgar Quinet Paris 75014 France +33 (0)1 4410 8650 |
The Montparnasse cemetery stretches over 18 hectares and houses the tombs of several famous French people. Situated on the land of former farms, the site was chosen by Napoleon and the cemetery was created in 1824 (after Père-Lachaise and Montmartre). It is divided up by straight walkways, two of which demarcate the Grand and the Petit cimetière. People laid to rest here include Alfred Dreyfus (of the Dreyfus Affair), the author Guy de Maupassant, Jean Seberg (the actress who starred in A Bout de Souffle among others), the poet Baudelaire, the literary couple Sartre and de Beauvoir, Samuel Beckett and Serge Gainsbourg.

 Swimming with a garden view |
20 Rue Saillard Paris 75014 France +33 1 45 45 50 37 |
The main asset of this swimming pool is its location, opposite the 14th arrondissement's town hall, on the pretty Square de l'Aspirant. The pool measures 25 metres by 12.5 metres (half the length of an Olympic sized pool). It is better avoided at lunchtime (from noon to 2p) and early evenings, since it gets very busy with the local workers during these times. Ten-session passes are available here, which also gives you access to other pools managed by the City of Paris. Admission: EUR1. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Tennis without membership |
10 Rue du Départ Paris 75014 France |
Located in the heart of the Jardin Atlantique above the Montparnasse railway station, these tennis courts are really something special. They are completely sheltered from the city's noise and pollution - apart from the sounds of the balls or the occasional grunt from exhausted players, all you hear are birds singing. The garden is on one side, and a massive office building on the other (the staff must be playing referees in between studying two files). There is no membership fee to play on these lit courts. Simply call to book, at least 48 hours in advance). Review © 2007, Wcities |
