In the heart of Paris' Père-Lachaise cemetery, curator Benoît Gallot uncovers a hidden world teeming with wildlife and nature's quiet takeover. Amongst the tombstones, foxes roam freely and exotic birds flutter, creating a serene haven away from the bustling city streets.

Gallot's book delves into the enchanting secret life of this historic cemetery, shedding light on a side not often seen by the over 3 million annual visitors who come to pay their respects. Nature, undeterred by the passage of time, thrives in the midst of monuments and mausoleums, reclaiming its space and creating a tranquil oasis amidst the chaos of urban life.
