About This Tour

A private tour for your group only — Père Lachaise's real, genuine grounds, resting place of Jim Morrison, Oscar Wilde, Édith Piaf, and many more. This is a private tour for your group only. Real, genuine grounds are explored, including the real graves of Jim Morrison, Oscar Wilde, Édith Piaf, and many other notable figures.

Père Lachaise opened in 1804 by order of Napoleon, who declared that every citizen — regardless of religion — had an equal right to burial. It takes its name from Père François de la Chaise, a Jesuit confessor to Louis XIV who once lived on the land. At roughly 44 hectares, it's the largest cemetery within the city limits of Paris itself, and today it draws an estimated 3.5 million visitors a year, making it one of the most-visited cemeteries anywhere in the world.

It didn't start out popular. By the end of its first year, Père Lachaise held only thirteen graves — Parisians weren't keen on a cemetery so far from the city center at the time. Administrators responded with a shrewd bit of early marketing: they had the remains of the fabulist Jean de La Fontaine and the playwright Molière transferred there. The move worked, and within a few decades, being buried at Père Lachaise had become genuinely fashionable among Paris's artistic and literary elite.

The guest list since has only grown. Jim Morrison's grave remains one of the most visited in the entire cemetery, alongside Oscar Wilde, Édith Piaf, Frédéric Chopin, Marcel Proust, and the composer Rossini, among many others. Walking its winding, tree-lined paths feels less like a tourist stop and more like strolling through an open-air museum of 19th- and 20th-century Paris — which, in a very real sense, it is.
