One of the World's Most Visited Cemeteries

Père Lachaise, the world’s most-visited non-secular cemetery, is home to legends like Jim Morrison, Edith Piaf, Oscar Wilde, and Chopin. Established in 1804 by Napoleon, the cemetery spans 44 hectares and has grown from just 13 graves to over 33,000 by 1830. The cemetery’s strategic marketing efforts, including the transfer of famous figures like Molière and Héloïse & Abélard, drew visitors and made it a revered resting place. It also houses the Communards' Wall, a poignant reminder of the Paris Commune of 1871. A visit to Père Lachaise is a walk through history and romance
