Visite guidée: Les Amis et Passionnés du Père-Lachaise - 200 ans d'art et d'histoire

Les Amis et Passionnés du Père-Lachaise is an association dedicated to the preservation and appreciation of the Père-Lachaise cemetery...

Far from traditional clichés, it presents its areas of interest and shares its passion for art, history, and of course, unmissable celebrities: Piaf, Salvador, Montand, Signoret, Bashung, Bécaud, Girardot, not forgetting Morrison and many others...

There are also the great moments of our history and world history: the Paris Commune, World War II, the Spanish Civil War, monuments dedicated to Deportation, the Resistance, aviation tragedies, etc.

A visit filled with nostalgia, tenderness, and also humor, a getaway and stroll outside of time, where we recharge and reconnect with names, faces, places, and anecdotes buried in our memory.

The Revolution and the Empire are also well represented: Marshals, generals, and high imperial dignitaries are present too, sharing their battles and adventures...

Painters, sculptors, musicians sleep their last sleep here; their works, too, come alive for a moment.

Several lecturers step in to make this tour an exceptional moment. Some have studied at the École du Louvre and have long-standing experience with the site and its history.

Among the themed tours:

- Famous women at Père-Lachaise - The Revolution and the Empire at Père-Lachaise - World War II and the Resistance - The Deportation - The Paris Commune - Great figures, great hours of history

Régis Dufour Forrestier, president of the association, leads the tours assisted by other members, equally passionate. All share a love and respect for sites steeped in history and emotion...
