Overview

Guided by the Great Sibyl of the Revolution, come and discover the secrets and stories behind the most famous tombs of the Père Lachaise cemetery during a colorful visit.

For over 200 years now, Marie Anne Lenormand has been walking the maze of the eastern cemetery, her final resting place, which you know better as the Père Lachaise cemetery.

She is starting to get bored and would like to meet new people!
Let her guide you to the tombs of her friends and introduce you to these souls she frequents! Without forgetting to tell you the history of the cemetery and its intrigues…

Unusual visit in small groups in French for adults and children over 7 years old.
