What you'll see and do
Pere-Lachaise Cemetery
The Chairfather tours of Père Lachaise are an immersive experience encompassing theatrical representations and citations, music clips, sound effects, gags and other surprises. Hearing the tales of 50 personalities told in this entertaining way, you'll agree the passed have never been more alive! On Tour 1, we will cover one third of the 44 hectares of this immense park. We will visit the final resting places of luminaries Oscar Wilde, Gertrude Stein, Alice B Toklas, Ettore Bugatti, Amadeo Modigliani, Edith Piaf, Henri Salvador, Beaumarchais, Anna de Noailles, the Carton family, Quintin Craufurd, Victor Noir, Sarah Bernhardt, Yves Montand, Simone Signoret, Isadora Duncan, Stéphane Grappelli and a Dragon. In life, many of our hosts were connected to each other in surprising ways. This first tour explores political intrigue, forbidden love, and, of course, sex. Tour 2 will see Camille Corot, Jean de La Fontaine, Molière, Antoine Parmentier, Joseph Léopold Sigisbert Hugo, Jean Anthelme Brillat de Savarin, the Tissandier family, Elizaveta Démidoff-Strogonoff, Georges Rodenbach, Ferdinand de Lesseps, Jim Morrison, Héloïse and Abélard, Camille Pissarro, Michel Petrucciani, Frédéric Chopin, Claude Chabrol, Marcel Marceau, and Théodore Géricault. We will explore separation: diverging from tradition, rifts in the relationships of fathers and sons, slicing through the sky, cutting through continents, lovers forcibly pulled apart, breakthrough bold musical compositions and silence as a means of communication. The main theme of Tour 3 is builders, meeting four men who made Paris what it is today. We will pay respects to Jacques-Louis David, Félix Faure, Georges Eugène Haussmann, Gioachino Rossini, Louis Visconti, Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, Jean-Charles Adolphe Alphand, Georges Seurat, Georges Méliès, Joseph Croce-Spinelli and Théodore Sivel, Georges Bizet, Gustave Caillebotte, Honoré de Balzac, Eugène Delacroix, Fulgence Bienvenüe, Marcel Proust, Allan Kardec and some guy called Félix de Beaujour. No other audio tour visits as many sites inside Père Lachaise. Your guide is a local author who used to work a couple blocks from the cemetery and would come for lunch all the time. Often he would have to return three times to try to find one site without success. The maps and the apps simply weren't accurate enough. So, he decided to make these tours to get people on track. At least half of the places we will visit you would not be able to find without a guide. The Chairfather tours will bring you in an enjoyable manner to precisely the sites most tourists are looking for. This is a GPS-triggered audio tour from VoiceMap, which has the advantage of allowing your eyes free reign to look around you and admire the sites. You can put your phone in your pocket, look up, and let your imagination wander.

Great way to spend an afternoon in Paris
This is an excellent way to wile away many hours as you explore such an historical landscape, the narrator is funny and knowledgeable. My only gripe is that it is very easy to get off the right track, ever lost but in the wrong place - you won’t regret signing up for this treasure hunt!
via Tripadvisor
Highly recommend
Highly recommend this audio tour! This was much better than a group tour which we couldn’t even book in English at the last minute anyway.. This was an even better solution & cheaper too. We loved doing the trip on our terms when it suited us best. Easy to use app & very entertaining audio. The cemetery wouldn’t have been as enjoyable without the audio tour. It was a cold & rainy day &we still enjoyed ourselves.

Excellent self-guided tour
I enjoyed the tours. I was able to complete two and a half of the three before needing to leave Paris. The app directs you to some very unique and interesting “hosts” and some of the stories are very engaging. The walking was a fair amount of exercise, which I also considered a plus in a very peaceful and respectful setting. Not infrequently, one gets off the desired path the app specifies but it is fairly easy to course correct and get back on the tour. The app performed well. All-in-all, a very inexpensive and useful way to make a tour of the cemetery.

A crack up
Tons of fun facts. I laughed a lot at the stories and the impressions. No way I could have found the tombs without the guide.

Funny & informative at the same time
We enjoyed our walking tour of Pere LaChaise, and found the anecdotes & historical information very interesting. The author chooses many of the better known personalities (plus a couple we hadn't heard of), and provides stories & funny details about their lives... At one point he even kept us in suspense...and then spooked us! :) Sometimes the route is a little tricky to follow among the gravestones, but we were able to simply rewind the audio & follow the directions precisely. Was a fun diversion on a summer afternoon, and the tour was neither too long nor too short. Descriptions & anecdotes were succinct & entertaining.

Why this scores 50
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Bundle of Père Lachaise Cemetery: Self-Guided Audio Tours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Bundle of Père Lachaise Cemetery: Self-Guided Audio Tours cost?
+
Prices start at $11 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paris usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bundle of Père Lachaise Cemetery: Self-Guided Audio Tours take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paris is not rushed.
Is Bundle of Père Lachaise Cemetery: Self-Guided Audio Tours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bundle of Père Lachaise Cemetery: Self-Guided Audio Tours?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Bundle of Père Lachaise Cemetery: Self-Guided Audio Tours suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 1-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Bundle of Père Lachaise Cemetery: Self-Guided Audio Tours?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paris can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paris and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bundle of Père Lachaise Cemetery: Self-Guided Audio Tours start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paris within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Paris?
+
Paris rewards travelers who book ahead. The headline museums sell timed entry weeks out, the best food walks cap at eight people, and the Seine cruises that are worth doing are the ones that leave after sunset. Everything below is scored by the Outty Ranking so you can tell a genuine local favorite from a coach-tour filler in a single glance. On Outty we rank every Paris experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX, Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Paris?
+
April to June and September to October, when queues thin out and terraces stay open late. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Paris?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
