Père Lachaise
Located in the North of Paris, the Père Lachaise district swings between city life and the Parisian countryside.
The Père Lachaise district takes on a country look with its pedestrian alleys and small pavilions. It is known as the home of the most famous cemetery in Paris. Perched on a hill of nearly 44 hectares, the Père Lachaise cemetery offers the possibility of a beautiful stroll in an incomparable, romantic and bucolic atmosphere. Stroll along the flowered alleys where many personalities are buried, and enjoy the view of all Paris while sitting under the shelter of a flowering tree.
The streets around the cemetery offer a rural landscape in the middle of Paris. Walk along Rue Stendhal until you come upon the Church of Saint-Germain de Charonne, a historic monument of Romanesque architecture and the only church in Paris to have retained its own cemetery. Around the very lively Rue de Bagnolet, you will find a number of pretty pedestrian streets, where you will find secret addresses that you must discover.
