Pére-Lachaise Cemetery Tour

IrmaNinette_A, Mar 2026

Julie was beyond AMAZING! She's knowledgeable and she is the real deal. Book with her ASAP. There was not anyone with me so it turned out to be a solo private tour. I told her about my love for Chopin and she told me a lot of information about him. It was such a special experience. Job well done

My guide was wonderful!...

My guide was wonderful! The history of the cemetery along with its residents tell a colorful tale of Paris. Although I wasn’t fond of Jim Morrison site I enjoyed many others we visited.
