Access: continue along the driveway and after leaving Charles Longuet's grave continue along the path for another 30-40 metres. Then, just before you reach Avenue Transversale n. 3, turn left onto a small path, just behind the first line of tombs. After about twenty metres you will come to the tomb of Chassin (Div. 92).
