Famous Graves of Paris Walking Tour of Peré LaChaise
Most people wouldn’t include a cemetery on their list of ‘sights to see’ when visiting a new city, but Paris’ Pere LaChaise is different. This cemetary is home to 70,000 dead, among them some of the most famous, artists, writers and musicians the world has ever known.
Meander this labyrinth of stones, trees and dirt paths with us as your guide points out the famous graves and hidden eccentricities that make this place special.
Oscar Wilde’s tomb surely stands out, covered entirely with bright red lipstick kiss marks from visiting admirers. Discover one of the greatest, most tragic love stories of all time --- that of Héloise & Abélard, now buried side by side after long years of separation. As we pass Chopin’s tomb you can almost hear his most well known piece, the Funeral Dirge. We'll be sure not to miss most visited grave in this Paris cemetery: that of the infamous American rock star – Jim Morrison. Among others, Moliere, Balzac, Proust and Delacroix await us in the hidden corners of the graveyard. No rush! We’ll see them all -- they aren’t going anywhere.
Join us on this extraordinary tour of this very special cemetery and relive with us the lives and stories of the great people buried here.
