Additional Information

We approach topics like sex and death in an engaging and sophisticated manner, à la française, sharing unheard stories that you won’t find in other tours. Brace yourself for a saucy yet light-hearted adventure through Père Lachaise Cemetery. This isn’t your usual walking tour because romance in the City of Love is never typical. Your local guide from Paris will navigate you through the sensual histories of the individuals buried here. Their graves may be cold, but their affairs of the heart were quite heated.

The tour is interactive — expect a bit of patting, perhaps some smooching, respectfully at the relevant graves, of course! We’ll let you in on local secrets, and by the end of the tour, you’ll comprehend why sex and death aren’t considered taboo in France.

Soak in the culture. Grasp the history. Stimulate your senses. Based on the group’s vibe, your guide can keep the tour under PG-13 or raise it to an R-rating. Every tour maintains class in the authentic Parisian style — provocative, but not vulgar.

  • Take our Paris shuttle for convenient transportation, included with your tour.

Something for everyone at Pere Lachaise! - We had a great morning tour through Pere Lachaise Cemetery. Tetiana was very engaging and had many great stories to share about the the lovers & their scandals. My son & I really enjoyed the park like beauty of the cemetery. It was interesting to hear such diverse history of the people & families buried there. Walking amongst the graves of Presidents, Musicians, Singers, Writers, Artists, Courtesan's, Inventors, Actors, Scientists, Scoundrels, and Lovers was quite an experience. Every style of architecture can be found here. There is absolutely something for everyone at Pere Lachaise. Cemetery cats can be found lurking around every corner.

5 Star Tour - Tetiana gave an amazing tour!!! It’s obvious she loves doing this tour and really made the cemetery. “come to life“ with the stories she told about people buried there. Without this tour, I would’ve been overwhelmed and lost as this place is massive in size! The tour… It’s totally worth it!

Great experience among the dead - Tetiana was an excellent guide - knowledgeable, organised and engaging. We saw a good selection of graves of well known people and the delivery was clear and often entertaining. Tatiana took care of all of the group and was helpful in guiding the group back to the exit. Very highly recommend this guide.
