We tackle sex and death in a fun sophisticated way, the French way, telling true stories you won’t hear on other tours. 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.
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. Visit tombs of Héloïse and Abélard, separated in life but reunited in death.

Not a top guide . Knowledge was moderate . Good storyteller but not always accurate . Was nothing as we would expect from professional guide .
Thank you for your feedback, Vincent. We are sorry to hear that the guide fell short of your expectations on this tour. We appreciate your honest notes and will use them to improve our team's training moving forward.
There were 3 of us signed up for this Pere LaChaise tour. Our tour was cancelled less than 2 days before it was scheduled. We were surprised and disappointed that they refused to do a tour for 3 guests. I have had tour with only 2 people and the company has gone ahead with it. This was very unprofessional behavior.

Tetiana was a wonderful guide, regaling us with stories of famous characters from history, some saucy details of their lives, and some sad and sordid events surrounding their deaths. We thought the walk would be unpleasant with the weather, but the slight chill and light rain just added to the mystery of the cemetery experience. We definitely recommend adding this to your list of Paris adventures!
