Stop At: Pere-Lachaise, Pere-Lachaise, Paris, Ile-de-France

Join us for a Private Tour led by native/ fluent English speakers of the Père Lachaise Cemetery.

Life, love and death have never had so much meaning as inside this cemetery. Its intriguing labyrinth of roads and dirt paths between the graves reveal a new perspective on how to visit Paris. You'll visit the graves of Jim Morrison, Oscar Wilde, Edith Piaf, Frederic Chopin, Sarah Bernhardt, Marcel Marceau, Molière, Abelard & Heloïse, just to name a few. As well as the Holocaust Memorials. Learn about the artists, writers, politicians, and other remarkable personalities that are buried within the beautiful stone walls of Père Lachaise, and listen as your guide tells you about the remarkable stories and moments in history that have taken place at the cemetery itself. From a gruesome battle in Paris’s communist uprising to the hordes of Jim Morrison fans that make pilgrimages to visit the tomb of the Doors front man, Père Lachaise has seen its fair share of Parisian history.

“Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one’s head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.” – Oscar Wilde, The Canterville Ghost

“Time to live, time to lie, time to laugh, and time to die. Take it easy baby. Take it as it comes.” ― Jim Morrison

Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes

Vraag naar gids Lily! Fijne persoonlijkheid, goed geïnformeerd en ze deelde haar kennis met veel enthousiasme, aangevuld met leuke weetjes. We hadden geluk met het weer, de herfstzon was een extra bijdrage aan de sfeer. Rustig, de "andere" kant van Parijs. Een stuk van de eeuwige jachtvelden voo...

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié l'amabilité d'Edouardo, notre guide. Nous avons voyagé dans le temps grâce à un parcours inédit et instructif concocté par notre guide. Nous avons d'abord été surpris par l'accent espagnol d'Edouardo, car qui a-t-il de plus franco-français que le cimetière du Père La...
