COVID19 Rescheduling Policy: Book With Confidence! No Penalty For Rescheduling As Many Times As Necessary
It’s the resting place of thousands of Parisians, including many famous names. Iconic resident, Oscar Wilde, once wrote, “Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one’s head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.” And peace is what we’ll discover at this calm, yet utterly captivating cemetery. Your guide will share stories about the most famous graves, including those of Jim Morrison, Edith Piaf, Chopin, and Marcel Marceau and memorials to the Holocaust and various wars. We’ll discuss the little-known popular uprising, the Paris Commune, which occurred within the cemetery’s walls.
Highlights Generally Include:
Jim Morrison
Edith Piaf
Oscar Wilde
Molière
The Holocaust Memorial
Lucia was an abolutely wonderful tour guide. She is extremely knowledgeable about the cemetery and she gave us a wealth of information about each tomb or grave we visited, the history of the cemetery and tied all of this with the culture, economics, and political situation in France. She took us to all the places we wanted to see, added some that we were not aware of, and shared with us the memorials for the Holocaust. We would highly recommend as this tour company and their guides are outstanding.
Lucia provided a well researched tour that was delivered with warmth and passionate knowledge. I could not have asked for a better guide. Thank you for a great tour.
Our guide was just great and very knowledgeable. Great experience. I highly recommend this small group tour. Only a total of 4 people which really individualized the experience. Thank you Carolina great tour.
Our guide, Tina (Christina) was amazing. There were five of us in the group and it was perfect. We had been in larger group tours in Greece and Italy and this was by far the best experience. Tina is so knowledgable and fun, the day flew by. We highly recommend Babylon Tours.
Lucia was an awesome tour guide. l learned a lot about history and saw things I would have missed just walking around.
