The first modern cemetery in Saint-Etienne, the largest and oldest, considered an open-air sculpture museum.
The Crêt de Roch cemetery is the first modern cemetery of Saint-Etienne, opened in the early 19th century. Here rest all the personalities of the city: mayors, ribbon makers, engineers and industrialists, artists and architects... Being the largest and oldest cemetery in the city, it is truly our Père Lachaise in Saint-Etienne. Remarkable for the quality of its sculptures: angels, groups of sculpted children, mourners, it is a museum of open-air sculptures. The greatest local architects such as Lamaizière also participated in its construction. For all the amateurs of art and symbolism, it is worth the detour.

L'originalité de ce cimetière tient surtout par son emplacement,situé sur les hauteurs de Saint Étienne.L’accès se fait par de petites rues étroites et difficile de se garer dans le quartier mais la vue depuis là est assez sympathique.
