Les femmes du Père-Lachaise - visite guidée

There are many ways to explore Père-Lachaise Cemetery. One such approach is to discuss the women buried there. Some are well-known, others have faded into obscurity. Some lived in the 18th century and died in the early 19th century, and are among the first to be interred in the cemetery. Others have rested there for only a few years.

Talking about these women means delving into the history of women and France: women artists (painting, dance, writing, etc.), women in struggle (right to abortion, women's suffrage, etc.), women in the resistance and deported women, women in medicine, women in sports, etc.

Let's go and meet them in the heart of Père-Lachaise, designed as much as a garden as a cemetery.
