the celebrity-themed guided tour at Père Lachaise

Père Lachaise is 44 hectares of green space where celebrities and illustrious unknowns are buried. Thierry Le Roi has been a transmitter of memory there for more than 20 years. He knows the nooks and crannies of this very singular cemetery. With him, each tomb is transformed into a living painting : Piaf, Henri Salvador, Honoré de Balzac, Jim Morrison, Frédéric Chopin, Yves Montand, Simone Signoret, Pierre Desproges, Oscar Wilde and many others… He is an outstanding storyteller, historian and entertainer… (Black) humour, a lot of emotion, friends and a lot of tenderness during this guided tour of one of the greatest institutions in Paris.

The press is talking about it…

Télérama “Thierry Le Roi, the official guide, is loud and clear! Anecdotes abound. An enthusiastic guide and a conquered audience! »
Libération – “Dressed in a multi-pocket jacket, the panama hat boldly screwed on his head, Thierry Le Roi does not quite have the all-purpose look. And he announces the color as soon as we enter the cemetery: it is a “Necropolitan safari” in Père-Lachaise that he invites us to.
Le Figaro : “Silent as a grave? Unless he is given a voice. Thierry Le Roi, star of Père Lachaise “
Le Point – “Thierry Le Roi knows his father Lachaise like the back of his hand and tries to make him discover in an original way”
