Join us on a guided tour of Montparnasse cemetery on the footsteps of iconic women. This cemetery was created in 1824, in the former village of Montparnasse. Area that became extremely attractive for the writters and artists that belonged to the so-called “Lost Generation” by Gertrude Stein. Besides, after World War I, many artists including Picasso and Modigliani left the right bank to move to Montparnasse. 

In fact, today, even though it is still a lively part of Paris, very few people come to visit its cemetery full of incredible personalities. Among inspiring female icons burried there, some of them where American feminists, like Susan Sontag, writer, critic and public intellectual. Also, an American actress, Jean Seberg, who became famous thanks to Jean-Luc Godard in the 1960’s in the movie “Breathless”, which is part of the French new wave. However, of course, most of them where French and they were illustrious in different aspects. Some were writers, resistants, aviators, businesswoman involved in charity, actresses, nuns, etc.
