Père LaChaise Cemetery is a Must See in Paris

Michelle_G, Nov 2024

Père LaChaise Cemetery is a veritable who’s who of those who have gone before us including Chopin, Balzac, Oscar Wilde, Jim Morrison and more. The gravesites are as beautiful as any piece of art in a museum. Our guide, Alberto, is a treasure…knowledgeable, witty, an expert navigator of this is sprawling necropolis.

Fascinating and Informative Tour

We had a wonderful tour with Alberto, who was very knowledgable and engaging and spoke perfect English. He shared many stories of the cemetery which we would never have been able to find out on our own. Alberto also made a concerted effort to make sure we saw the tombs we came to see. I highly recommend this tour to anyone with an interest in the history of Paris or Pere Lachaise in particular!
