\nFree Cemeteries<\/i><\/b> – You can visit the cemeteries of the rich and famous artists, philosophers, and intellectuals that once lived in Paris. At Cimeti\u00e8re Pere-Lachaise and Cimeti\u00e8re du Montparnasse, you don\u2019t have to pay anything to visit the graves of legends like Georges Bizet, Jim Morrison, Isadora Duncan, and Sarah Bernhardt. <\/span><\/p>\n
