“I had an excellent tour with Alberto et Les Necroromantiques. I've heard about them from French newspapers and blogs and what they say is true: it's a completely different approach to the history of the Cemetery. All these characters from the past were suddenly alive. We were a very small group and he tailored the tour according to everyone's wishes and interests.”

We had traveled across town which cost a total of €40. The weather was cold…54° but no rain or storm. People walked freely among the cemetery. I don’t know what weather our guide was talking about. Again, very disappointing and would like compensation.”
