Paris is known for its museums, beautiful parks and cafes, however a rich history remains to be explored in it's cemeteries .

Père Lachaise being the most famous one. Featured in the movie Paris, je t'aime- an anthology film made in 2006, which inspired many travelers to come to Paris.

With the cemetery spanning over 110 acres(44 hectares)it can take quite a while to tour, so plan on being there for at least 2-3 hours .

There are over 100 famous people buried there, however the unique tombs of the infamous and unknown are equally intriquing .

The cemetary is open until 6 pm everyday(except holidays) and is totally free. About 30-40 minutes before closing officials ride through the park anouncing on the loud speaker that the park is closing and to please head to the exit.

The closest metro stop is Pere Lachaise .

If your in Paris for more than a few days, Pere-Lachaise is definately a spot worth checking out .

Hello/Hola, I am Sylvia , I split my living time equally between Madrid and Las Vegas. Yes, it's true - there couldnt be two more opposite sides of the world,But you know the old saying - opposites attract. My passions are for Travel and wine. After all I am a WSET level 1 & 2 graduate. I can definitely recommend a great wine and food paring, a great bottle by region ,or based on your tastes. My travels so far have brought me to Spain, France, Italy, New York City, San Francisco and Syria - just to name a few. My real travels started when I decided to tempt fate, quit my job and travel alone to Spain and Syria to explore my family roots. The people, places and experiences were one of a kind, and those amazing adventures-fueled my passion for travel and new experiences. After all, ringing in the new year on the streets of Rome with complete strangers is pretty amazing! My mission is to inspire people who have never traveled before- to take that leap, and land in another country . Whether you are alone or well accompanied - you can do it . I would love to introduce you to the vibrant and complex world of wines .To the amazing bouquet and taste profile of a young red wine from beaujalais , or a whitefrom Raix Baixes, there is a wine for everyone. The craftmanship and talent that goes into producing an incredible bottle of wine is priceless. Your travel experiences will warm your soul, and spark new inspiration into your life . I am honored and thrilled to guide on your journeys. Trust me - they are going to be amazing !
