Père‐Lachaise Cemetery - Père‐Lachaise Cemetery

Japanese: ペール・ラシェーズ墓地 - ペールラシェーズぼち(英語表記)Cimetière du Père‐Lachaise
Père‐Lachaise Cemetery - Père‐Lachaise Cemetery
Montparnasse Cemetery is one of three cemeteries built in the early 19th century in the northeastern suburbs of Paris, France. The others are Montparnasse and Montmartre cemeteries. The city of Paris purchased a nearby hill that had been owned by the Jesuits since 1626 and developed the cemetery. Its name comes from the confessor to Louis XIV, who lived here. It contains the graves of many famous people, including Abelard, Balzac, Chopin, Delacroix, and Thiers, as well as the wall where soldiers were shot during the final battle of the Paris Commune (the Wall of the Leaguers).

フランス,パリ北東部の郊外に19世紀初頭につくられた三つの墓地のうちの一つ。他はモンパルナス,モンマルトルの両墓地である。1626年以降イエズス会の所有となっていた近郊の丘を,パリ市が買収し墓地を造成した。その名称はこの地に住んでいたルイ14世の聴罪司祭に由来する。アベラール,バルザック,ショパン,ドラクロア,ティエールら各界有名人の墓が存在するほか,パリ・コミューンの最後の戦闘で戦士が銃殺された壁(〈連盟兵の壁〉)が残されている。
