explore paris, discover secrets and forgotten stories
A place where stories never die — Père Lachaise
As we enter a record breaking heat this summer, I am bringing you to a place where you might find some shade and nature. 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).
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).
