Père Lachaise Cemetery

Numerous beautiful monuments , numerous brilliant people. Try to count how many names of famous people you will recognize.

A beautiful peaceful cemetery that looks like a park .The monuments of many deceased figures of politics or literature/poetry are pieces of architectural art . A wonderful walk without a dark ambience.

Take a photo of the map at the entrance and then plan your route. The graves you are seeking are sometimes hard to find so don't be afraid to step into the narrow paths between the plots.

Many famous figures lie in this cemetery , from Jim Morrison , to Chopin, to Oscar Wilde . Try to go on a sunny day and up to the hill to the summit for a beautiful view of Père Lachaise and the city .

Really nice to visit. so interesting. Great view from the top. Sat on bench had a drink and a smoke looked at the amazing view high above Paris. Visted Jim Morrison . ????

Have a map or you will get lost. Plans are at each entrance. A lot of famous people like Jim Morrison , Edith Piaf , Claude Debussy, Oscar Wilde , JeanJacques Rousseau. An hour visit is nothing here.

Very beautiful cemetery . It's difficult to find some graves, so try to use a map. Nice place to spend an hour or so and see the resting place of some famous people.

The ghost of a French prime minister is said to yank on your clothes if you get too close. But where else will I get to meet Jim Morrison 's ghost ? Hotel Reco: http://bit.ly/HnWHhz

Dark graves are beautiful. Amazing photographic spot to use 50 mm lenses

Didn't look for any celebrities -- just walked along, enjoying the peace and quiet , admiring the interesting grave marks and monuments and reading the sometimes-moving tombstones. Nice experience.

Look for the grave of Jim Morrison . You will find it in number 30 in this map

Due to high Vigipirate level, most doors are closed. Eg: the one next to the Père-Lachaise metro. Porte de la Réunion is only open in the morning from 8h/8h30/9h until 9h30, then from 16h-17h30.

So many famous graves to see here.. It's beautiful. Give yourself a few hours and have a map! It's like a village

Beautiful place, though bit depressing. Do not forget to visit tombs of Edith Piaf and Jim Morrison

I have been there on an autumn day with a lot of fog! There was a magic atmosphere!

Very calming place for walking and thinking.

You can see the graves of many famous artists and scholars including Oscar Wilde , Marcel Proust , Georges-Pierre Seurat, Eugène Delacroix, and James Morrison.

Organize your trip before entering. This cemetery is like a labyrinth...the risk is to waist a great amount of time with poor results at the end. Take a map!!!!

Take a photo of the map and any graves you want to visit before you start to explore - all too easy to get lost

A must of any photographer ! I love it in the winter when dustered with snow. Countless great shot to be made (and not only from Jim Morrisson's grave ! )

The world's most visited cemetery , Père Lachaise is also called La cité des morts - The city of the dead - by Parisians.

You really need a map. I didn't find a free map at the entrance, so I took a photo of someone's map with my phone. It doesn't help much, though. Do some research on the internet before you go there.

After crowded Paris it is nice to escape with old tombs and many trees , no rush.

Most definitely worth a visit when in Paris. Remembert o print out a map of the graves beforehand.

At the main entrance you can get, free of charge, the 2 plans of the cemetery . Don't buy from the flower shop . Don't get only only one, as it's incomplete.

A beautiful experience you should live if you go to France to show your respect to all the great people that lie there.

Go in through metro Gambetta! Have a map and stay long, its beautiful ❤️

magical, quiet ! must do when visiting Paris !

Take a camara with you and check the map of the tumbs at the entrance... amazing

This place is huge! Prepare to have a long walk if you want to see most famous graves

Proust was buried in Père Lachaise cemetery . If you entry from Gambeta, go straight and turn right at avenue transversale №2.

Beautiful in autumn! Love this place!

Some really interesting graves of famous people but the divisions are confusing and its easy to get lost even with a map

Beautiful cementery, definetely worth a visit!

The trend for famous grave sites was started as a marketing strategy in the 19th century, to get more people to be buried here (it obviously worked!)

TRAVEL FACT: Located in Paris’ 20th arrondissement, this cemetery is the largest in Paris and one of the most famous in the world.

A must see. Very serene and peaceful

Find Modigliani's grave it's about 5 stones back from the street. Lots of flowers there.

So interesting, especially for fans of French history.

Wilde's grave still visible, but unfortunately cleaned from the typical kisses and barricaded by the city hall .

Make sure you get a map at the administration office , main entrance.

Big, big, BIG! Do not enter during a rainshower. Not much place to hide! But still, Very impressive.

Bring an updated map! From George Melies to Jim Morrison . The place is huge - be awere of the open tombs.

Visit Jim Morrison grave if you love rock music .

Great place for a picnic ! Quiet , beautiful, and benches throughout.
