If there is one place in Paris that can stir the imagination and bring legends back to life, it is the Père-Lachaise cemetery. With its 44 hectares, 77,000 graves and one million deceased, Père-Lachaise is the largest cemetery in Paris, and the most visited in the world.
Guillaume, guide of the Paris of legends, invites you to follow him along the cemetery’s hidden paths, far from the usual tourist routes, as he tells you stories that are both spellbinding and mysterious. Great History and small anecdotes, fabulous, tragic, or forgotten destinies: your guide will reveal the cemetery’s deepest-buried secrets. Set out to meet the spirits that inhabit the place: from the Reverend Father François de la Chaize to the fortune-teller of the Revolution, from a healer to the ghosts of the Commune, from followers of spiritualism to gloomy black masses, Père Lachaise proves to be one of the greatest books of history. Whatever your beliefs, let yourself be carried away into a fascinating world where people believe in the afterlife, the survival of the soul, its reincarnation, and communication with the dead. Budding or seasoned spiritualist? This walk is the ideal pilgrimage to perfect your mediumship and feed on the memory of those who came before!
