How many entrances give access to Père-Lachaise?
The answer
Père-Lachaise has five entrances. The main, monumental one opens onto the Boulevard de Ménilmontant: designed by the architect Étienne-Hippolyte Godde and inaugurated in 1825, it is decorated with winged hourglasses and floral garlands. The other four are the Porte du Repos, the Porte des Amandiers, the Porte Gambetta and the Porte de la Réunion.
