Paris is the capital and largest city of France, with over 2 million inhabitants and more than 13 million in the greater metropolitan area. Cimetière du Père-Lachaise is the largest cemetery in Paris,, at 44 hectares. Approximately one million deceased people have been buried in more than 69,000 burial sites so far. At the beginning of the 19th century, new cemeteries had to replace the old ones in Paris. To end the Church's monopoly on burials, an edict was issued in 1803 stipulating that burial sites could no longer be established within the city limits, but should instead be placed under the supervision of the political municipality and located outside the city. The cemetery of Père Lachaise opened in 1804 and takes its name from the confessor to Louis XIV, Père François de la Chaise (1624–1709), who lived in the Jesuit house rebuilt during 1682 on the site of the chapel. The property, situated on the hillside was bought by the city in 1804. Auschwitz III Concentration Camp Memorial n'oublions jamais
