Because of the construction of apartment buildings next to the cemetery, the Avenue des Fortifications is no longer accessible (from 2009-?).

Batignolles is now the home for the earthly remains of André Barsacq, Alexandre Benois, André Breton, Alfred Bruneau, Lucienne Bréval, Gaston Calmette, Blaise Cendrars, Clémentine de Vère, Léon Dierx, Pierre Dreyfus, Marguerite Durand, Hélène Dutrieu, Jean L'Herminier, Cora Pearl, Joséphin Péladan, Benjamin Péret, Ray Ventura, Paul Vidal, Édouard Vuillard and André Zirnheld (in the family grave), among others.

The cemetery contains one British Commonwealth war grave, that of a Royal Air Force officer of 1918.

The entry to the cemetery is at the intersection of Rue Saint-Just and Avenue du Cimetière des Batignolles.

The cemetery is lodged between the Boulevard Périphérique and the Lycée International Honoré de Balzac.
