The Forcalquier cemetery has been classified as a departmental monument since 1946. The site is famous for the green cloister formed by its avenues of pruned yew trees. Open arcades in the hedges shelter the tombs.
The astonishing cemetery of Forcalquier surprises by its landscaped structure. Its magnificent vegetal labyrinth was classified in 1946. Its arches and alleys were carved out of yew trees over 100 years ago by a talented gardener. The living nature thus crosses time, giving a small taste of eternity to these places of memory.
