Access: to reach the tomb of Jules Miot from that of Eugène Cléray, return to Avenue de la Chapelle and follow it until you reach Avenue Feuillant, which you will take on your left. After about 30 metres, turn left again into Chemin du Bastion. A few metres further on, a passage opens up on your right through the tombs. Go up this path and you will find Miot's grave after about twenty metres (Div. 52, Avenue Feuillant, 3rd line).
