Hugh - you won’t find better - Visiting Père Lachaise Cemetery was unforgettable, made extraordinary by Hugh, our tour guide. His depth of knowledge was unmatched—he truly lives and breathes history. No other guide could compete with the insight, stories, and context he shared. Hugh was kind, courteous, and incredibly generous with his time, answering every question with passion and care. The experience felt personal, enriching, and deeply memorable thanks to him.

Lively cemetery visit - We had a super visit to Père Lachaise this afternoon! Our guide, Hugo, was really knowledgeable and told wonderful stories. He added life to the cemetery. He shared French and Parisian history as well as anecdotes about the people whose graves we saw. Our group of 6 was just the right size for interaction and ease of staying together.
