The app allows you to download the details of the tour without the need for an internet connection. The map in the app shows you the way to the most famous tombs in a scenic setting.

Jim Morrison

Amedeo Modigliani

Héloïse and Abbélard, known as the French Romeo and Juliet.

Given the quiet and dignified atmosphere of a cemetery, it is only appropriate to explore it at a moderate pace and refrain from loud conversations. A self-guided tour with an audio guide is therefore the best solution.
