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.
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.
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.
Pleasant walk around the leafy alleys. The visit can be very educational if you fancy to look up on the net for all those great personas who have been buried here through the years.
Quiet, peaceful, beautiful. This cemetery is a huge park, and admission is free. You can visit the resting places of Jim Morrison, Marcel Proust, Oscar Wilde, and more.
