What if the stars could guide your stroll through one of Paris’s most iconic cemeteries? That’s the idea behind an esoteric guided tour of the Père Lachaise, offered by Les Paris DLD. The walk explores zodiac signs and astrology, taking you through twelve graves aligned with the Aries, Leo, or Pisces constellations, culminating on March 3, 2026. This themed experience, available by reservation for €15, includes a microphone and headphones so you can easily follow the commentary and immerse yourself in the celestial storytelling.
The route is designed as a true astrological theme at Père Lachaise, following the wheel of the zodiac signs. For each constellation of the zodiac, a tomb and an iconic figure are paired to illustrate the traditional traits associated with it. For example, the tomb of Alfred de Musset, a Sagittarius, highlights the qualities linked to this fiery sign, while the graves of Félix Faure, connected to Aquarius, and Frédéric Chopin, associated with Pisces, serve as concrete examples. The walk also features the tomb of Christine de Cibeins, woven into this symbolic journey. At each stop, the main characteristics of the sign are recalled, often reflected through iconic phrases meant to capture its spirit.
The tour also highlights the chapels of Père Lachaise and the funerary symbols found throughout the site. Some stops lead to graves renowned for their mysterious aura, such as the resting place of Allan Kardec, a key figure in spiritism, or the Demidoff Mausoleum, often mentioned for its enigmatic presence. The walk explores 19th-century practices like talking tables and spirit séances that captivated writers such as Victor Hugo. It also touches on the peculiar ritual performed at the grave of Victor Noir, frequently discussed, along with other tombs believed by folklore to possess special powers—whether to open a gateway to the underworld or to grant a wish.
As you walk along the paths, reflections broaden to how astrology continues to influence our collective imagination—sometimes even when it comes to contemporary figures, whose zodiac signs often pique curiosity. Blending historical memory, spiritual beliefs, and celestial correspondences, the visit highlights the enduring presence of these references in our culture. But it leaves us with a simple question: what are we truly seeking in the connections between fate, the stars, and memories etched in stone?
