Paris 2017: Cimetière de Passy: Rosemonde Gérard

Rosemonde Gérard (1866–1953) was the wife of the writer Edmond Rostand (1868–1918), whose grave in Marseille I showed here. She too was an acclaimed writer, notably for her poetical works – Les Pipeaux (1889) and L’Arc-en-Ciel (1926).

Edmond and Rosemonde's son Maurice Rostand (1891–1968), poet and novelist, is also buried here. His mémoire Confession d'un demi-siècle (1948) is one of his most well-known works, and his L'Homme que j'ai tué (1925) was adapted to cinema by Ernst Lubitsch as Broken Lullaby (1932) and by François Ozon as Frantz (2016).
