    This is Marie Joly's grave. She was an actress in the 1700s and like many comedians today, she has a tragic history. She was a member of the Comédie-Française but, unfortunately, she was suspected of being a royalist and thrown into prison. While serving a short five-month sentence, she contracted tuberculosis and died at the age of 37. In recognition of his sad end, a stele dedicated to melancholy was erected next to his tomb.
