This log-only, micro cache is located in the Cimetiere de
Montparnasse. The terrain is easy and there should be good GPS
reception in the area. The nearest Metro station is Raspail or
Edgar Quinet on the 4 and 6 lines. This is a very small cache so
PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE ANY ITEMS IN THE CACHE! It will only jam the
small container.
 Many famous people rest in this cemetery.
You’ll find Charles Baudelaire amongst the bad flowers; Chaim
Soutine is hanging about still looking for that perfect colour red;
Sam Beckett is still waiting for his happy day; and Alfred Dreyfus
is not accused of lying here, he actually does! Sartre lies
together with Beauvoir and this time there is no exit; Raymond Aron
lies parallel with his line; Man Ray is here but he no longer calls
for action: and Serge Gainsbourg is here but if you are not French
you probably don’t know him (we didn’t).
Be sure to get a map to the stars on your way in. Opening hours are
Monday-Friday 8am-5:30pm; Saturday 8:30am – 5:50pm and Sunday
9am – 5:30pm. During March through November it stays open
another 30 minutes.
The micro cache you seek is a small breath strip container painted
silver. It measures only 5cmX3cmX1cm and it contains only a log
sheet, so bring a pen. Please replace exactly how you found it to
keep it well hidden and protected from the elements.
Remember this is an active cemetery so please be respectful to
mourners and if there are people around be prepared to wait around
or perhaps visit the nearby Montparnasse Tower for some great views
and then return.
