Père Lachaise is not just a cemetery. It is 44 hectares of Paris history, art, ghost stories and extraordinary human drama. With a dedicated guide exclusively for your group, you will follow the cobbled avenues uphill through more than 70,000 tombs, stopping at the graves that have made this hillside one of the most visited places in the world.
Before each stop, your guide checks in with your group. What are you curious about? What do you already know? The experience is then shaped entirely around your answers.
Stand at Jim Morrison's tomb, find Oscar Wilde's modernist winged sphinx, Chopin's weeping muse and Édith Piaf's family grave. At the Columbarium, hear the chilling accounts of cold spots, failing cameras and shadows reported here for decades.
