The Marine cemetery<\/h4>

Perched on the heights of Mont Saint Clair in the artists’ district, overlooking the port and the Mediterranean Sea, is the Cimiti\u00e8re Marin (Marine Cemetery) formerly known as the Saint Charles cemetery. Created around 1680 as a burial place for the first workers who died during the construction of the Saint-Louis breakwater, the first 1064 m\u00b2 was developed over the following centuries with a series of plots, including one reserved for the Protestant community, which played an essential role in the growth of the port in the 18th and 19th centuries.<\/p>

\"Le<\/p>

Several tombs recall the maritime history of the town, such as that of the pilots who disappeared while rescuing a ship in distress or that of the young midshipman Eug\u00e8ne Herber killed in Beijing in 1900. Others bear witness to the notoriety of S\u00e8te personalities, such as the politician Mario Roustan, the French actor and director Jean Vilar, the jouster Vincent Cianni, known as \u201cthe man of a hundred victories\u201d and the filmmaker Henri Colpi. But the most famous personality is Paul Val\u00e9ry, a French poet, essayist and philosopher who died on July 20, 1945 and was buried in this cemetery in the tomb of his ancestors.<\/p>

The Saint-Charles cemetery was renamed Le Cimiti\u00e8re Marin on 7 August 1945 in respectful homage to the famous poem by Paul Val\u00e9ry, Le Cimiti\u00e8re Marin, published in 1920.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
