Pére-Lachaise Cemetery Tour

Julie was beyond AMAZING! She's knowledgeable and she is the real deal. Book with her ASAP. There was not anyone with me so it turned out to be a solo private tour. I told her about my love for Chopin and she told me a lot of information about him. It was such a special experience. Job well done

My guide was wonderful!...

My guide was wonderful! The history of the cemetery along with its residents tell a colorful tale of Paris. Although I wasn’t fond of Jim Morrison site I enjoyed many others we visited.
