Père-Lachaise Cemetery

An absolutely stunning Cemetery. This place is HUGE! You could easily spend hours walking round here. A really interesting way to spend the afternoon, looking at graves, mausoleums and cute cats.

An amazing location to visit in Paris! It is one of the largest cemeteries in the world with close to 3 million people interred in graves and in the columbarium. Each single grave is a work of art. One may go to visit the graves of famous individuals buried there but will end up finding that pretty much any grave is a magnificiwnt work of art which tells the story of somebody’s life. Definitely worth it!

This is a beautiful and serene cemetery, which can take a few hours to walk around if you really spend time looking at the diverse and ornate tombs and mausoleums. Even without all of the celebrity tombs belonging to the likes of Jim Morrison (his tomb is almost obscured and sort of hidden) and Edith Piaf, this is still a place of inordinate beauty. Bring comfortable shoes and a bottle of water (in case you get thirsty) and experience one of Paris's most notable landmarks.

Tombs, Tombs, Tombs and more tombs. This place is flooded with tombs. Each tomb belongs to a prominent family. I admire the architecture and design for each tomb. It seems these tombs belong to rich aristocratic families. There is a lot to see. Better get a warm coffee during winter and walk around. I do not know many famous families of Paris but if you do, you may find it. The chapel was closed so we were not able to view it. What I admired was the doors and the stained glass window inside the tomb. We did not have to pay a fee to visit this place. The bus took us right to where the cemetery was. I always like to read what is written on the tomb but I was not able to find it here. Toilets are available but I discovered often there is a line. You will enjoy it.

Really interesting cemetary to walk through. Would be nice and spooky to walk through here at night. Was hoping to see some feral cats but I was there around noon and didn't see any, which does make some sense since cats are crepuscular (more active around sunrise/sunset). Walking through the tiny paths, respectfully of course, and amongst the graves and mausoleums was a good way to spend some time. Only saw one interesting bird as well. Not the best place for birdwatching.
