Père Lachaise Cemetery
Walk among the dead, through a maze of ancient streets where moss-clad tombs whisper tales of bygone eras at France's most famed cemetery. Some as small as telephone booths and some adorned with over-the-top sculptures, these tombs will make you think about life, death, and everything in between. Find tours to make the most of your visit and pay homage to legends like Édith Piaf, Jim Morrison, Oscar Wilde, Frédéric Chopin, and Max Ernst.
