Keep your tongue firmly planted in your cheek for this lighthearted yet salacious journey through Père Lachaise Cemetery.
This is not your average walking tour, but then again, love in the City of Love is anything but ordinary. Your local Parisian guide will take you through the sexy histories of the people who lie buried here. While their tombs may be cold, their love affairs are anything but.
It’s interactive, too — a little rubbing, a little kissing — at the appropriate graves, of course! We’ll share gossip known only to locals, and you’ll leave understanding why topics like death and sex aren’t taboo in France.
Immerse yourself in the culture. Learn the history. Arouse your senses. Your guide can make your experience PG-13 or take it all the way to R-rated, depending on the group. Each tour is handled with class in true Parisian style — risqué but never raunchy.
Come explore the spicy side of Père Lachaise Cemetery with a walking tour that will stimulate and surprise you.

Reviews
We had a guided walking tour with Audry. She was great — interesting stories, very knowledgeable, and invited lots of questions. Her enthusiasm for sharing her love of Paris history was inspiring! I highly recommend this tour. The cemetery is beautiful and the history is fascinating.

We've visited in the past, but Maria took us to many tombs that were unknown to us and told their fascinating stories.
