PèRE LACHAISE
With a little help from our imagination Paris’ most famous cemetry has the panache of an underground village. As living mortals, we only notice the aboveground references.
Père Lachaise is the story of the last domicile of many, many French and foreign legends. You don’t have to search endlessly for the graves of Jim Morrison, Edith Piaf, Oscar Wilde, Fréderique Chopin, Marcel Proust or Molière. We do this for you and with you. Moreover we are standing still at the monument for the fallen Communards, one the bloodiest weeks in Paris’ history. A tour that will make you silently.
Included in this itinerary:
- A walk along world’s most famous cemetry
- An anthology of the French cultural history
- Last departure at 15h30
