The Cimetière de Passy is a List of famous cemeteries located in 2, rue du Commandant Schœlsing, in the quarter of Passy in the 16ème arrondissement, Paris of Paris, France. In the early 19th century, several new cemeteries replaced all the Parisian ones. Outside the precincts of the capital, Cimetière de Montmartre was built in the north, Père Lachaise in the east, and Cimetière du Montparnasse in the south. At the heart of the city, Cimetière de Passy was built. Opened in 1820 in the expensive residential and commercial districts of the Right Bank near the Champs Elysees, by 1874 the small Passy Cemetery had become the aristocratic necropolis of Paris. It is the only cemetery in Paris with a heated waiting room. After World War I, the retaining wall of the Passy cemetery was adorned with a bas relief in honor of the soldiers. The beautiful cemetery is sheltered by a bower of chestnut trees, and sits in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower. A few of its famous residents are: *Marie Bashkirtseff -- Painter; her tomb is a real-size studio *James Gordon Bennett, Jr. -- American newspaper publisher, sportsman *Tristan Bernard -- Playwright and novelist *Bao Dai -- last Emperor of Vietnam *Claude Debussy -- Composer *Marcel Dassault (1892-1986) -- engineer, founder of Dassault Aviation *Ghislaine Dommanget -- (1900-1991), Princess of Monaco *Henry Farman -- Aviator *Edgar Faure -- Statesman *Gabriel Fauré -- Composer *Fernandel -- (Fernand Joseph Désiré Contandin) -- Actor *Maurice Gamelin --(1872-1958), 1st Commander of Allied Forces in WWII *Maurice Genevoix (1946-1980), novelist *Jean Giraudoux -- Writer *Gabriel Hanotaux -- (1853–1944), statesman and historian *Jacques Ibert -- (1890-1962), composer *Paul Landowsky -- (1875-1961), architect and sculptor *Georges Mandel -- statesman *Edouard Manet -- Painter *Octave Mirbeau -- Art critic, novelist *Berthe Morisot -- Painter *Princess Leila of Iran -- (1970-2001), daughter of the Shah of Iran. *Princess Brassova -- (Natalia Sheremetyev-Romanov) *Gabrielle Réjane (1856-1920), actress *Marcel Renault -- (1872-1903), automobile pioneer *Haroun Tazieff -- (1914-1998), vulcanologist *Pearl White -- American silent film star, famous for doing her own stunts in her serials "''The Perils of Pauline''" See also: List of famous cemeteries Cemeteries in France Paris
