Visit and draw Père Lachaise cemetery with a local artist

Discover Paris with a sketch artist! From Oscar Wilde to Balzac, from Edith Piaf to Jim Morrison, some of the greatest personalities of their time are buried at Père Lachaise. Explore and immortalize your memories in sketches accompanied by an artist.

Join and artist and illustrator for a drawing tour of this famous and fascinating cemetery.

Visitors will be provided with a sketchbook, a pencil, an eraser, a sharpener, and a cardboard frame for framing their drawings. At the entrance, there is a list of the most renowned figures of Père Lachaise along with the location of their tombstones. Thus, visitors who wish to discover the location corresponding to a specific celebrity can make the request at the beginning of the tour.

After walking up the main aisle, several stops can be considered to begin drawing exercises. It's important to note that there are benches on some main pathways as well as in main squares, but not always near the tombs of celebrities. For those, photography is preferred. Your instructor will be present to guide you through the various stages of your drawings. At the end of the tour, you will depart with your drawings in kraft envelopes.

Thomas, your guide and instructor, is a former graduate of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts. A wood engraver and illustrator, he has been working with several renowned publishing houses since the early 2000s.
