Errancis Cemetery

Reputed to have been buried here (amongst the many others),[2] the date is the date of death: Famous others: As with the Madeleine Cemetery, the bodies decomposed to a state where they could no longer be identified, this to the dismay of Louis XVIII, who came looking for the remains of his sister, Madame Élisabeth, in 1815.

The skeletal remains were moved to the Catacombs of Paris between 1844 and 1859 (probably around 1848)[3] when the Boulevard de Courcelles was constructed.

Unlike the other major revolutionary cemetery—the Madeleine Cemetery—there is no plaque in the Catacombs to indicate the location of the transferred bones.

The literal translation of Cimetière des Errancis is Cemetery of the Wandering.

[4] The cemetery was also known as the resting place of les estropiés,[5] French for the maimed.
