Ancien cimetière, Rue Gallieni, 95160 Montmorency, France

I have been asked more than once where Henry Corbin's final resting place is. Thanks to Aziz Ibrahim we have the answer. This is from the obituary published in  Le Monde, October 10, 1978:

"The orientalist Henry Corbin, who died on October 7, 1978, was buried in the cemetery of Champeaux, Rue Gallieni, in the city of Montmorency, Val d' Oise."

I would of course hope that some intrepid pilgrim will eventually send a photo of the grave site. [Someone did: see this post.]
