Starting point: Pere Lachaise Cemetery
Père Lachaise Cemetery (French: Cimetière du Père-Lachaise) covers 110 acres and is the largest cemetery in the city of Paris. It was opened on 21 May 1804 and is notable for being the first garden cemetery, as well as the first municipal cemetery.
Directions: Take either Line 2 or Line 3 to the Pere Lachaise stop.
Canal St Martin
Construction of the canal was ordered by Napoleon I in 1802, in order to create an artificial waterway for supplying Paris with fresh water to support a growing population and to help avoid diseases such as dysentery and cholera. The canal was dug from 1802 to 1825, funded by a new tax on wine. The canal was also used to supply Paris with food (grain), building materials, and other goods, carried on canal boats.
Directions: From the Pere Lachaise subway stop, take Line 2 to the Stalingrad stop. Switch to Line 7 and take it to Corentin Cariou.
Bastille
The Bastille was a fortress that played an important role in the internal conflicts of France and for most of its history was used as a state prison by the kings of France. It was stormed by a crowd on 14 July 1789, in the French Revolution, becoming an important symbol for the French Republican movement, and was later demolished and replaced by the Place de la Bastille. Almost nothing is left of the Bastille except some remains of its stone foundation that were relocated to the side of the Boulevard Henri IV.
Directions: From the Porte de Pantin stop, take Line 5 to the Bastille stop.
Place des Vosges
Place des Vosges was built by Henri IV from 1605 to 1612. The Place des Vosges, inaugurated in 1612 with a grand carrousel to celebrate the wedding of Louis XIII and Anne of Austria, is the prototype of all the residential squares of European cities that were to come. The Place des Vosges initiated subsequent developments of Paris that created a suitable urban background for the French aristocracy.
Directions: From Place de la Bastille, walk west on Rue Saint-Antoine. Take a right on Rue de Brague.
