Père Lachaise Walking Tour

Père-Lachaise cemetery is the largest cemetery in Paris and extends over 43 hectares.  And in all of this space lies the stories of those buried here.  On this tour, we’ll touch on the scandals, love affairs, and true-life stories of some of the cemetery’s most famous personalities.

The cemetery itself is absolutely stunning. It’s a unique and magnificent place that invites you to meditate and dream. It’s steeped in art, culture and history, and our local knowledgeable guide will help you travel through its maze of stones and vegetation. But this isn’t just any tour; we’re going to give you the salacious details along the way.

As you stroll through the cemetery, you’ll stop at famous gravestones such as Oliver Wilde, which is covered in lipstick. You’ll learn why and have the opportunity to join in on the fun. You will also see Victor Noir’s effigy; this name is perhaps not as notable as Wilde, but we promise you won’t forget this gravestone.

Marvel at stunning funerary art with a knowledgeable guide on hand to answer questions and highlight the stories and anecdotes hidden in this beautiful garden setting. You will of course see Jim Morrison’s final resting place as well as some of the most influential and diverse characters in history, like Chopin, Édith Piaf, and Molière just to name a few. Spend some time away from the crowds and join us on what is arguably the most spiritual, steamy, and memorable open-air museum walk in Paris.
