this cemetery, closed in 1886 (the contents were transferred to the catacombs in 1794), remained abandoned until 1908. It is today covered by an annex of the lycée fénelon (hillairet, t. Ii, p. 533,534). Its entrance was located at 13, rue suger (see card01308). See also “new walks in paris”, 1907, g. Cain, p. 51-56, and card06830 to card06839 (cain album, volume ii)
