About This Experience

Your experience

 

The cemetery of Père Lachaise at the cinema, a guided tour between reality and fiction.

 

In the heart of the city, find this most famous place where, it is said, there is no living soul. However, we come across a crowd of cinephiles from another time: Georges Méliès, Sarah Bernhardt, Michel Legrand, Anna Karina or Simone Signoret.


Often used as a setting in the 7th art, it inspires international filmmakers who like to film this exceptional place known as much for the beauty of its landscapes as for its occupants. Let yourself be guided in the alleys and between the tombs during a walk of more than two hours to discover the cinema and its most illustrious representatives.

 

The highlights of your visit: 
From Sarah Bernhardt to Anna Karina, a tribute to some great actresses.
In the columbarium, listed as a historical monument, scenes filmed by Truffaut or Verhoeven.
When the supernatural borders on terror, the cemetery offers an ideal setting. 
Oscar Wilde, Jim Morrison, the most visited tombs of the cemetery are also among the most filmed.
