Overview
Hello, I'm Sarah-Sophie! Art historian, I propose a charming stroll through Père-Lachaise, discovering its famous tombs and their secrets.
Through the shaded aisles, between stone staircases and moss-covered chapels, we wander from Chopin to Jim Morrison. Behind every grave lie extraordinary destinies, tenacious legends, and strange rituals, not to mention the reputation of a haunted place that has clung to the cemetery for two centuries... Between stops, I will also tell you the story of Père Lachaise and the funerary art that makes it a true open-air museum.
We travel in small groups (maximum 8 people), which allows us to adapt the hike to your wishes. Besides the essentials, we can follow in the footsteps of artists, writers, musicians, or great political figures, depending on the group's interests. All at a leisurely pace, to fully savor the poetry of the places.
