What to Expect
Engaging Format
You will search for symbolism, secret signs and receive bonuses for that. Some of them are related to Paris, while others can be used when you return home. Somewhere the additional task will be to see the largest diamonds of the French crown, and somewhere - to bake a Parmentier pie. Because all of this is directly related to the inhabitants of Pere Lachaise. It will be interesting for both adults and children!
City Within a City
The country's main necropolis is comparable in size to the Vatican, divided into streets and adorned with cypresses, pines, magnolias, and wisteria. And the key component, of course, is the sculptural compositions of tombs. Gothic and Masonic, romantic and humorous - they all catch the eye.
