The cimetière du Père-Lachaise is known for being the cemetery of celebrities. Yet this vast necropolis welcomes many people who are unknown, unrecognized, and especially forgotten, even though they worked for science, literature... Some have also left sinister memories behind. You sometimes have to delve into the small alleys to discover the simple grave of a woman with illustrious discoveries whose name has fallen into oblivion, or to discover the unusual grave of a lion tamer.
I invite you on a journey to (re)discover the cimetière du Père-Lachaise. Together, we will embark on a true exploration off the main paved paths, searching for the forgotten figures of Père-Lachaise, discovering unusual graves; we will also talk about the history of the cemetery: why is it named this way? Why such fascination?
A visit far from the city's turmoil, in one of the most exceptional places in the capital.
