Tombe d'Édith Piaf Audio Guide Tour

Tombe d'Édith Piaf, listed in Bagnolet, is the singer’s resting place in nearby Père-Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. Born in 1915, Piaf rose from street performances to become one of France’s most recognizable voices, celebrated for songs including “La Vie en rose” and “Non, je ne regrette rien.” She died in 1963 and was buried in Division 97, where her grave became a place of pilgrimage for admirers of French chanson. The family tomb also holds her daughter Marcelle, her father Louis Gassion, and her second husband, singer Théo Sarapo. Its dark stone and the flowers often left by visitors give this modest memorial a personal character amid the cemetery’s elaborate monuments.
