It is one of my favorite places in Paris: Père Lachaise Cemetery. For this journey, prepare a bottle of water, sunglasses and good walking shoes (the roads are pavement mostly and there are a few stairs). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a116e9e0da2387f79edc7af/45b2af62-2848-42f0-ac7d-bd92b68ebfe2/francois-d-aix-de-la-chaise-confesseur-de-louis-xiv-resida-dans-la-propriete-devenue-par-la-suite-le-cimetiere-du-pere-lachaise-ou-il-n-est-pas-enterre-rue-des-archives-1580986124.jpg explore paris - A place where stories never die — Père Lachaise - Make it stand out Portrait of François d’Aix de La Chaize, © Rue des Archives https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a116e9e0da2387f79edc7af/c8a924a5-4e69-4714-881e-de4317701dfe/9ynZwMTQDFeSKyLpocrm0dXriU0.jpg explore paris - A place where stories never die — Père Lachaise - Make it stand out A drawing of the Castle on Mont-Louis, © Benoit Chain https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a116e9e0da2387f79edc7af/7042c2fd-9b04-4381-94cc-ac57126ff021/635852-histoire-de-paris-le-cimetiere-des-innocents-et-les-vestiges-qu-il-en-reste.jpg explore paris - A place where stories never die — Père Lachaise - Make it stand out The Cemetery of the Innocents, © Theodor Josef Hubert Hoffbauer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a116e9e0da2387f79edc7af/eb6c5513-be26-4155-8967-35d2675eb8e1/DKE_3432md.jpeg explore paris - A place where stories never die — Père Lachaise - Make it stand out The Greffulhe family vault, © Douglas Keister https://www.historywithmyra.com/explore-paris/the-garden-of-the-queens monthly 0.5 2026-06-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a116e9e0da2387f79edc7af/1779627924760-ZKKME7D7OOU6F1P9XVQU/unsplash-image-3pfq03SzZn0.jpg explore paris - The Garden of the Queen(s) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a116e9e0da2387f79edc7af/1779616678663-Q8XGBJDTZ9Q2LEPO6UJY/unsplash-image-2d7SQkTNyZw.jpg explore paris - The Garden of the Queen(s) For your first journey with me, I am taking you to the Jardin du Luxembourg. This magnificent garden is arguably Parisians' favourite, and it is also mine. Walk around and you will see a cocktail of tourists and locals sitting on chairs, chatting, reading, playing chess, and playing tennis — all the while important laws are being voted on in the Senate (picture above). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a116e9e0da2387f79edc7af/1630ab6e-f8a3-455c-b0d4-f619a0b17735/0_Marie_de_Me%CC%81dicis_-_Frans_Pourbus_le_Jeune_-_Louvre_%28INV1710%29_-_%282%29.JPG explore paris - The Garden of the Queen(s) - Make it stand out Portrait of Marie de' Medici by Frans Pourbus the Younger, Musée du Louvre.
