We had heard about this cemetery from family prior to our Paris trip and our hotel happened to be next door so we felt it worth a visit. We decided to download an audio guide which we found online for 5 euro which guided us around 20 famous graves, explaining their history and importance. The cemetery is fascinating and very large! We walked around 4km in all and only saw a fraction of what was on offer. Beautiful and tranquil place, well worth the 3 hours of time out. Some graves require climbing stairs and uneven ground so comfy shoes are a must. Highly recommend

We paid our money for NOTHING!!! We booked a self guided tour and got given tickets. However, we could not download the guide as it was no link, nor could we find anyone who could assist us at the so called “Meeting Point”. There is simply NO meeting point. It was not possible to claim a refund as we booked less that 24 hours before the trip. The phone number given on the ticket is not answered transferring to voice mail. TERRIBLE SERVICE. Will never us it again and will no recommend it to anyone.

Pere Lachaise cemetery is an amazing place to visit but sadly the self guided tour didn’t enhance our experience at all. No doubt down to user incompetence (or internet issues?) but we were unable to find the video directions referred to by the narrators, hence finding the graves was completely hit or miss. Out of the 14 featured, we found about half. The commentary was good though, and we learned a lot. But we left wishing we had booked a human tour guide!
