Since the ban on pesticides in Parisian public green spaces, a phenomenon has become increasingly visible on the old graves at Père-Lachaise, overrun with ivy, moss and wild grasses. What does the press often nickname the cemetery because of this?

Since the ban on pesticides in Parisian public green spaces, vegetation has been reclaiming many of the old graves at Père-Lachaise. Ivy, moss and wild plants thrive there, so much so that the press regularly describes it as an urban sanctuary for wildlife and plants.
