Visite guidée : Les femmes du Père-Lachaise

There are many ways to visit the Cimetière du Père-Lachaise. Highlighting the women resting there is one such approach. Some are famous, others have faded into obscurity. Some lived in the eighteenth century and passed away in the early nineteenth century, standing among the first people buried in the cemetery. Others have been resting here for only a few years.

Speaking of these women means delving into the history of women and of France: women artists (painting, dance, writing, etc.), women in struggle (abortion rights, women's suffrage...), women resistance fighters and deportees, women in medicine, women in sports, and more.

Let's meet them in the heart of Père-Lachaise, designed as much as a garden as a cemetery.
