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.

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.

Great visit!

It was very informative and entertaining, including a nice walk and interesting stories in this very large cemetery. Thanks to Elyesse who was our guide for this visit.

Interesting visit of the cemetery

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

How much walking is there?

There’s about 2 miles of walking through the cemetery at a leisurely pace. If mobility is an issue, please arrange for a private tour.

How does the Seine cruise upgrade work?

Your guide will give you instructions on where to find the boat. Your ticket is good for a one-hour cruise along the Seine anytime within one year of the date of your tour. Make sure to arrive on time for your Eiffel Tower tour to receive your boat tickets — if you miss your tour, you won’t be able to pick up your cruise tickets. Reservations are not required for the river cruise. Just show up 20 minutes early with your tickets. The boat ride is roundtrip, starting and ending by the Eiffel Tower. Here is a map of the meeting point.

Is this tour wheelchair accessible?

This tour is not accessible for wheelchairs. If mobility is an issue, please arrange for a private tour.

Is this tour family-friendly?

This walking tour varies from a little racy (PG-13) to downright spicy. Your guide adjusts the tone based on the group, but we always cover the material with class. If you want to take youngsters on this tour, we recommend booking a private tour. Your guide is happy to share our PG “Love and Death in Père Lachaise” version of the tour. This version highlights lost loves, undying affection, and plenty of French romance through the ages. Adult-only innuendos optional.

What is the cancellation policy?

We understand plans change. We offer a 100% refund or the option to reschedule up to 24 hours before your tour start time. Cancellations within 24 hours aren’t eligible for refunds or rescheduling.

When should I get there?

Plan to show up 15 minutes early. The tour starts promptly, and you may not be able to catch up if you arrive late.

What if it rains?

Our tours run rain or shine. If there’s extreme weather and we have to cancel, you’ll get a full refund.

Are gratuities included?

Tips aren’t expected but are always appreciated by our guides. If you think your guide did an outstanding job, a tip is a great way to show that.
