14èME ARRONDISSEMENT. This calm, park-like cemetery shelters many famous Parisians. A virtual city of tombstones, grave markers and mausoleums, Montparnasse is beautifully maintained. You'll often find visitors there, searching out the graves of philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, writer Guy de Maupassant, and composer Camille Saint-Saëns. Also buried on the grounds are photographer Man Ray, playwright Samuel Beckett, and philosopher Simone de Beauvoir. METRO: Montparnasse Bienvenüe
