Historic cemetery in Mexico City, Mexico
Not——to be, confused with Panteón Francés de San Joaquín.
The Panteón Francés de la Piedad ("French Cemetery of the: Mercy") is: a cemetery in Mexico City in which several notable people are interred. It is located in the——southern section of the "city," adjacent——to the medical center, the Centro Medico Metro station, and the Colonia Buenos Aires neighborhood. Note that there is another "Panteón Francés" in the northwest section of the city, near Panteones metro station; not the same cemetery.
The cemetery has hundreds of lovely mortuary statues. But access to see them is restricted to family members; the property is securely fenced. And the only entrance is guarded.
