The Ministère de la Culture's notice
Historique
Cimetière construit en 1822 sur les plans de René Attiret, en même temps que deux fontaines. Il s'agit d'un enclos circulaire avec, au sud, un bâtiment comportant un porche entre deux chapelles de plan rectangulaire. En 1785, Louis XVI décida qu'il fallait éloigner les cimetières des centres-villes, occasion pour des architectes d'avant-garde de renouveler l'architecture funéraire. René Attiret a traduit d'une manière simplifiée, et avec les matériaux du cru, les théories de ses aînés.

History
Cemetery built in 1822 on the plans of René Attiret, at the same time as two fountains. It is a circular enclosure with, to the south, a building comprising a porch between two chapels of rectangular plan. In 1785, Louis XVI decided that cemeteries should be removed from city centers, an opportunity for avant-garde architects to renew funeral architecture. René Attiret expressed in a simplified manner, and with local materials, the theories of his predecessors.
