Overview

Historic Jewish Quarter Walk in Paris

Explore the heart of Paris’s Jewish history in Le Marais, especially around Rue des Rosiers. This guided walk traces over 2,000 years of Jewish presence in France, highlighting periods of both hardship and cultural influence, particularly in the 19th century.

Discover hidden synagogues, oratories, historic streets, and memorial sites while reflecting on the Jewish community’s past and present. The tour also features renowned falafel spots, Mediterranean eateries, and Eastern European pastry shops.

A highlight is a visit to Paris’s oldest functioning synagogue, discreetly located on the second floor of a building from the 18th century.

The walk ends at the Museum of Jewish Art and History (MAHJ).

A donation is requested at the synagogue.
