Imagine walking through tree-lined driveways, discovering monumental tombs and evocative sculptures, while a narrator's voice guides you with fascinating anecdotes about the lives and works of the artists buried there. A well-organized audio guide that not only lists names and dates, but weaves together stories, trivia, and historical contextualization, paying tribute to the memory of such illustrious figures as Oscar Wilde, Édith Piaf, Jim Morrison, and many others.

The instructions where to get the audio guide were not at all clear . We didn't know that we had to scan a code situated on a panel that was situated next to a grave that was so hard to find . We ask the guardian at the entrance where it could be and he had no idea . Come to find out that it was right in front of his box. We lost almost one hour for that then the audio was hard to understand . Other people had the same terrible experience !Claude

Hello, we have reserved (reservation number: 24903067 )a ticket at the rate of 15 euros for two for an audioguide visit to the cemetery. We never had access to this service during our visit on Sunday May 18, 2025. No map was available to help us find our way around the cemetery, so we didn't take full advantage of the place. Due to the absence of the audio-guides and the service booked, we would like an immediate refund. Thank you, Sincerely
These tickets are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase.
Père Lachaise Cemetery, the largest necropolis in Paris and tucked away from the bustling Parisian streets, is the final resting place of numerous famous personalities, including 40 singers, 40 composers, and 75 painters. No wonder it attracts over 3 million visitors annually!
With an offline audio guide available in 7 languages and a handy GPS map, explore the cemetery at your own pace. Listen to the tragic love story of Abelard and Heloise, France's original Romeo and Juliet, and learn how Jim Morrison, the lead singer of The Doors, ended up in an unmarked Parisian grave. Want to know why Oscar Wilde's tomb is adorned with lipstick kisses and Chopin's heart is not buried alongside his remains? Your recordings narrated by an expert historian will unveil these captivating stories behind the tombstones!
Pay your respects to literary giants like Gertrude Stein and Marcel Proust, and admire the artistic tributes to Géricault and Haussman. Witness the enduring love for Edith Piaf, whose grave is always adorned with flowers.
