Overview

Why does Oscar Wilde’s tomb need a glass wall? Which piece of Chopin is missing? How did a French president die in his mistress’s arms? Get the answers on three funny, GPS-triggered walks through Père Lachaise with The Chairfather, Joe Start, a Paris-based American and author of the memoir French License.

-Tour 1: Oscar Wilde, Edith Piaf, Modigliani, Sarah Bernhardt and the legend of Victor Noir
-Tour 2: Jim Morrison, Chopin, Molière and the star-crossed lovers Abélard and Héloïse
-Tour 3: Bizet, Haussmann, Méliès, Caillebotte, Maria Callas and a monument where lovers once met
-3 tours, 50+ famous lives, about 3 hours in total. Do them in one visit or spread them over several days

Start at the Gambetta entrance (56 rue des Rondeaux), not the Ménilmontant gate. Download all three tours over Wi-Fi before you arrive. Entry is free, open about 9am to 5:30pm, so start before 4pm. Bring water and wear flat shoes for the cobblestones.
