“Great way to spend a couple of hours” Looking for a unique experience ‘off the beaten path’? This tour is for you. I very much enjoyed learning about some of the famous ‘residents’ in this iconic graveyard in Paris. Our guide, the guide, was lovely, funny and informative. Although the length of the tour is perfect at a little over 2hrs, I left thirsty to learn more. I recommend and would do it again.
