“If the word ‘necropolis’ means ‘city of the dead,’ then Père-Lachaise is indeed the City of Immortals. The deceased found within its walls do not rest, but instead live forever.” — Carolyn Campbell, Author & Photographer
Backed by Three Decades of Research
Campbell’s fascination with Père-Lachaise began in the 1980s while working at the Corcoran Gallery of Art. After a flight to Paris to find Oscar Wilde’s tomb, she embarked on a 30-year journey documenting the stories, art, and mystery of this legendary necropolis. Now, her voluminous research is simplified into a powerful, easy-to-use smartphone experience.
