Highlights
This 2-hour group walking tour explores Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris with an archaeologist and historian specializing in funerary history and Parisian heritage. Hear stories about the graves of famous figures such as Oscar Wilde, Jim Morrison, Édith Piaf and Chopin. Unlike typical tours that focus only on celebrity graves, this tour explains how to read the symbols of 19th-century funerary art, how Parisian burial customs evolved and the cemetery's architectural styles from a historical and archaeological perspective. You can join in English, French or Spanish.
Program
Walk through Père Lachaise, an open-air museum,
with an archaeologist
Meet your guide at the main entrance of Père Lachaise Cemetery and explore the cemetery on foot for about 2 hours. First, learn how this cemetery was created under Napoleon I and the role cemeteries have played in Parisian history. Expert commentary reveals the era and story behind every path, chapel and sculpture.
Visit the graves of famous figures and their hidden stories
Depending on the route, visit the graves of figures who greatly influenced cultural and art history, such as Oscar Wilde, Jim Morrison, Édith Piaf, Frédéric Chopin, Molière and Jean de La Fontaine. Your guide also shares little-known anecdotes about each grave.
Read the symbols and architectural styles carved in stone
Learn to decode the symbols carved on tombs, such as wreaths of immortality, broken columns, winged hourglasses, clasped hands and weeping women. Along with architectural styles including Neoclassicism, Gothic Revival, Romanticism and Art Nouveau, the archaeologist explains the evolution of Parisian funeral rites, the birth of celebrity worship, the impact of epidemics, cemetery construction techniques and modern conservation issues.
