But also for Parisians, always keen to discover or rediscover this incredible place steeped in history and emotion.
Visiting Père Lachaise, yes, but not with just anyone! Because wandering as a novice through the 44 hectares of the largest green space in Paris (intra-muros) is a true challenge in itself!
Thierry Le Roi has been a "keeper of memory" at the Père Lachaise cemetery for more than 20 years. Together with his team Nécro-Romantiques, he takes visitors on a true "NécroRomantique" safari among the graves of celebrities and illustrious unknowns alike. History, culture, architecture, painting—nothing is left to chance during nearly three hours of touring, from which you will emerge with only one desire: to share this experience with your loved ones!
The most famous and most visited cemetery in the world will welcome you into its VIP section: Marcel Proust, Honoré de Balzac, Eugène Delacroix, but also Chopin, Montand, Desproges, Piaf, Oscar Wilde, and the iconic Jim Morrison. You will discover anecdotes unknown to the general public and secrets the cemetery keeps only for insiders!
A visit suitable for children, who are always invited to take part in discovering funerary heritage with the help of an educational booklet. A moment of performance, sharing, and transmission that will make you want to return and explore this place through new tours... NécroRomantiques, of course!
A tour acclaimed by the Paris City Tourist Office and regularly featured in the media. Around All Saints' Day, you may have seen Thierry Le Roi's work in the magazine show "Reportage découverte" broadcast on Saturday afternoons on TF1.
