Père François de La Chaise (1624 - 1709) was the
confessor of Louis XIV, and lived in the Jesuit house rebuilt in
1682 on the site of the chapel. The property, situated on the
side of a hill from which the king, during the Fronde, watched
skirmishing between the Condé and Turenne, was bought by
the city in 1804 and laid out by Brongniart, and
later extended.
The first interments were those of
La Fontaine
and Molière, whose remains were transferred here
in 1804. The monument to the tragic lovers
Abélard and Héloïse
was moved here in 1817, its canopy composed of fragments of the
abbey of Nogent-sur-Seine.
In the eastern corner of the cemetery is the
Mur des Fédérés, against
which 147
Communards were shot at dawn on 28 May 1871, after their final
resistance among the graves the night before. They were buried
where they fell against the wall.
