It may seem unusual, but one of Paris’s most fascinating sites is, in fact, a cemetery! Discover the rich history of Père Lachaise on this 2.5-hour walking tour, led by one of our expert guides. More than just a final resting place, this legendary site is a cultural and historical treasure.
Père Lachaise is unlike any other cemetery in the world, combining stunning architecture, tranquil pathways, and deep connections to Paris’s history. On this small-group tour—limited to no more than 12 guests—you’ll enjoy a personalized experience as your guide recounts stories of the remarkable figures buried here and the dramatic events that have shaped its legacy.

Your guide will also introduce you to the cemetery’s poignant Holocaust memorials and the gripping history of the Paris Commune, whose final battle unfolded within its walls.
Join us to uncover the stories, artistry, and history that make Père Lachaise one of Paris’s most unique and unforgettable destinations.
