Description

Have you dreamed of meeting the people who shaped history?
I am talking about Molière, Jean de La Fontaine, Frédéric Chopin, Honoré de Balzac, Jim Morrison, etc.

Did you know that these celebrities all have one thing in common?
They all rest at the Père-Lachaise cemetery in Paris, the most beautiful cemetery in the world.

I invite you to visit it in a different way through an unusual experience on the Paris Enigmes app.

On the agenda: Chopin's tomb separated from his heart, the sexual cult at Victor Noir's tomb, the curse of the Demidoff tomb, etc.

During this visit, you will solve puzzles independently with your phone based on observing the graves.
Once solved, you will discover quirky anecdotes and stories about the graves of Père Lachaise.

Please note that you are in a cemetery, and we ask that you respect the place during this treasure hunt.
