The Paris Commune

Please find below a few pages dedicated to the history of the Commune, its works, the men and women, soldiers and artists who made it happen, and the terrible repression that destroyed this solidarity and political construction and mercilessly massacred some of the participants.

A symbol of the bloody week and the bloody repression of the Paris Commune, the wall of Père Lachaise is the landmark of the Commune. Every year during Bloody Week, a "climb to the wall" is organised to celebrate the Commune and commemorate its dead.
