€14.00

Published in 1976, At Père-Lachaise is at once a history, a cultural guide and a walking tour of France's most famous cemetery.

Michel Dansel traces the origins and development of Père-Lachaise while inviting readers to explore its avenues, monuments and remarkable tombs. He examines the history of the site, the famous figures buried there, the symbolism of funerary art and the many stories that have contributed to its enduring fascination.

Illustrated with numerous black-and-white photographs and featuring plans by Alain Canda, the volume also includes a bibliography and an index.

Part historical study, part cultural guide, the book remains an engaging introduction to one of Paris's most remarkable landmarks.
