Cimetire De BagneuxLocated to the southwest of the city of Paris, France, the Cimetire de Bagneux is located at 44, avenue Marx-Dormoy, in Montrouge, Hauts-de-Seine. Opened in 1886, it was the burial place of Oscar Wilde until his remains were moved to Pre Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. Similarly, Jeanne Hbuterne, (1898-1920) the beautiful model and artist, who was Amedeo Modigliani's lover and mother of his only child, was originally buried here. Despondent over his death, Jeanne Hbuterne committed suicide and her family interred her at Cimetire de Bagneux until finally relenting and allowed her remains to be transferred to the Pre Lachaise Cemetery in 1930 to rest beside Modigliani. The cemetery has a military section as well as a large jewish section. A few of the notables interred at Le Cimetire de Bagneux: - Junie Astor (1912-1967), singer
