Jewish Paris Tour

The tour presents places that often go unrecognized, from large synagogues to small hidden oratories, private mansions, typical streets and, of course, places of remembrance, followed by a reflection on the current status of the French Jewish community.

The Marais maintains a vibrant, although shrinking, Jewish presence. Known for its Sunday shopping, narrow cobble-stone streets, felafel and Middle Eastern restaurants and pastry shops, the Marais is a unique neighborhood that celebrates its diversity. One needs only to walk the streets of Rue des Rosier and Rue Pavée (famous as the first paved road in Paris) to experience the active Jewish community. Not to be missed is a sighting of the Hannukah Mobile traveling through the Quartier blaring out holiday songs and inviting the community to celebrate in one of several active synagogues.
