Come join us on an extraordinary tour that brings to life the tales of your favourite historical characters who are all buried in Paris’ graveyard of the rich and famous: Pére Lachaise.

Highlights
- Pay homage to American rock star Jim Morrison
- Discover the literary personalities buried here

For many visitors to a new city, a graveyard is not on the top of your itinerary; however Paris’ Père Lachaise is well worth a visit. Considered one of the most coveted grave real estate in the world, here you can discover over 70,000 graves and tombs and some of the most ornate and flamboyant you have yet to lay eyes on. Père Lachaise is also where Paris’ rich and famous is buried, so this tour will take you to meet some of the most famous, artists, writers, and musicians the world has ever known.

As we meander through this beautiful labyrinth of elaborate stone crypts and overhanging trees as, your friendly and knowledgeable guide will regale you with the history and stories that make this place so special. Oscar Wilde’s tomb stands out among the crowd, a beautifully carved art-deco sculpture covered entirely with bright red lipstick kiss marks from visiting admirers. Discover one of the greatest and most tragic love stories of all time - that of Héloise and Abélard - now buried side-by-side after long years of separation. We also find the final resting place of playwright Molière, Chopin as well as Balzac, Proust, and Delacroix who all wait in the cemetary’s hidden corners. However, the highlight has to be that of Jim Morrison, whose grave, and those surrounding it, are covered with graffiti from the hoards of fans that come to visit his final resting place.

If you're looking for one of the best views in Paris, then you're missing out if you don't take in the City of Lights from atop the Arc de Triomphe.

The Arc is a Neoclassical take on the ancient Roman triumphal arch style. Standing 50 meters tall, the view from the platform atop the arch is worth the climb. You'll see all of the dozen Parisian avenues radiating out from it into the City of Light. Paris is one of the most fascinating places in the world, and you're at the center!

Inspired by the great arches of ancient Rome, Napoleon commissioned the Arc de Triomphe shortly after his victory at Austerlitz. Unfortunately, he never lived to see its completion, but that's what happens when you design something so elaborate. Look for relief sculptures at the base of each of the four pillars, ornate soldiers in a frieze around the top, plus the names of 128 battles and 558 generals. It may have taken thirty years, but it was worth it.

At the base of the arch, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier pays tribute to the 1.3 million French soldiers who died in WWI. The Unknown Soldier was given a burial in 1921, beneath the eternal flame. At 18:30 each evening, the flame is rekindled.

There's also an exhibition at the top and your Arc de Triomphe ticket will give you access to displays and models that explain the symbolic importance of this monument. Make sure to give it a look after you've been to the top, or before taking the final few stairs all the way to the top.

Wondering how to get to the center of the roundabout where the Arc sits? Don't take on the Parisian traffic, there are stairs from the north side of the Champs-Élysées that link up to pedestrian tunnels. Use these and save yourself the embarrassment of getting run over by a moped.
