Saint-Germain Cemetery

The Saint-Germain Cemetery (cimetière Saint-Germain) or Saint-Pierre Cemetery (cimetière Saint-Pierre) was a rectangular cemetery in Paris, first attested in 1259 (766 years ago) (1259) and used by Protestants from 1598 to 1604 onwards.

It was sited in the north-west corner of the former rue Taranne and rue des Saints-Pères, alongside the chapelle des Saint-Pères (on the site now occupied by square de la Charité at 186 boulevard Saint-Germain.

Owned by the parish of Saint-Sulpice, it was used for plague victims and lepers until 1544.

The parish council required them to leave it in 1604 and they moved to the nearby Saints-Pères Cemetery.

The Hôpital de la Charité briefly used the cemetery from 1604 to 1609.
