Nicknamed the Pantheon of Geneva, the cemetery of kings is home to the tombs of illustrious figures who contributed to the influence of Geneva as well as magistrates. The best known is certainly that of Jean Calvin.

"Death may gladly stride through the realm of joy,
Gladly he presses his hand on flowery brows.
In ashes tomorrow and torn garments,
with bowed head, the memory of joy will be a reproach and pain to us.
Funeral processions follow our games;
Saturnalia can be our cradle,
Woe to us!, only of dirges!"
Text: Victor HUGO, (1802 – 1885): "Ode sur la mort du duc de Berry" (1820)
