[1] Before the site became a cemetery, it was the scene of heavy fighting in May 1871, in the war between the Versailles and the Fédérés.

Similarly, Jeanne Hébuterne, the model and artist who was Amedeo Modigliani's lover and mother of his only child, was originally buried here.

Despondent over his death, Jeanne Hébuterne committed suicide and her family interred her at Cimetière de Bagneux until finally relenting and allowing her remains to be transferred to the Père Lachaise Cemetery in 1930 to rest beside Modigliani.

[4] A notable example was John Wilson (1889–1914), who was a peacetime Scottish professional footballer and died of wounds.

The Cimetière de Bagneux is a short walk from the Châtillon – Montrouge station, which can be reached by taking line 13.
