Description

Wander through the heart of Père Lachaise Cemetery and discover, thanks to your guide, the stories of the great artists, writers and musicians from all over the world buried there.

Through this 48-hectare labyrinth of crypts and greenery, your guide will tell you about the eccentricities of this cemetery, which welcomes more than 3.5 million visitors every year. Discover Oscar Wilde's grave, which is covered in kisses from admirers. Your guide will tell you the love story of Héloïse and Abélard, who lie side by side today after years of separation.

You will, of course, see the most visited grave in the cemetery: that of Jim Morrison, covered in his many fans' graffiti.
