It was originally an aristocratic area, but gradually became less popular with the nobility. After the French Revolution, Le Marais became a commercial center and a thriving Jewish quarter. The quartier, informally known as the Pletzl (Yiddish for little place) was centered around the famous Rue des Rosiers or Street of the Rose Bushes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to meet the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jewish community in Paris, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">try exploring the Marais and Rue des Rosiers on a sunny day (subway station: Saint-Paul). As you stroll through the old neighborhoods, you can take in the amazing historical architecture, explore the kosher boulangeries (bakeries),charcuteries (kosher butchers),<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">delis and restaurants, and Jewish boutiques and bookshops. It\u2019s a real pleasure to watch the people enjoying the cafes and brasseries in the regenerated Jewish quarter. The 21st century Marais is a fashionable and desirable district that experienced something of a Jewish rebirth and claims to serve the best falafel and humus outside Israel!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other Historical Jewish Neighborhoods in Paris<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 5th arrondissement &#8211; just south of Notre Dame.

There were periods of persecution, official discrimination and even expulsions &#8211; including the Dreyfus Affair and the shameful French participation in the Nazi deportation of 75,000 French Jews during the occupation. There were, however, many interludes of peace, prosperity and tolerance. Among the fruits of these better times are several <a href=\"\/blog\/the-oldest-synagogues-in-spain\/\">beautiful synagogues<\/a> that played an important role in the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jewish heritage of Paris.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grand Synagogue of Paris (Synagogue de la Victoire)\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Synagogue des Tournelles, in the Marais district<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Synagogue de Nazareth, the oldest synagogue in Paris<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buffault Synagogue, built for the Portuguese Jewish community<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agoudas Hakehilos Synagogue (Synagogue de la Rue Pav\u00e9e)\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Synagogue des Tournelles and the distinctive art nouveau style Agoudas Hakehilos Synagogue are both situated in Le Marais and can be explored as part of a local walking tour (the Synagogue de Nazareth is also just to the north). The imposing Grand Synagogue of Paris is a short walk from Le Peletier subway station, as is the Portuguese Buffault Synagogue. Both are well worth a visit and are also within easy reach of Pigalle and Montmartre, as well as the Paris Opera and several museums.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Explore <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jewish Culture in Paris through Museums and Exhibitions<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paris is noted for its superb museums and art galleries. National institutions like the Louvre, the Pompidou Center and the Mus\u00e9e D\u2019Orsay attract millions of visitors every year. Museums like the Museum of Jewish Art and History (Mus\u00e9e d&#8217;Art et d&#8217;Histoire du Juda\u00efsme or mahJ) do an amazing job of preserving <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jewish heritage in Paris.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Exhibits span Jewish history from ancient antiquity, through the middle ages and the renaissance and into modern times.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to gain a fast initial insight into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.giltravel.com\/jewish-heritage-tours\/france\/\">France\u2019s Jewish heritage<\/a>, the mahJ is the place to start. The Museum of Jewish Art and History is located at the heart of the Marais.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Custom Jewish <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tours in Paris<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">can be adapted to allow half a day, or even a full day to explore this world-class museum. Upcoming exhibitions in 2024 include the work of photographer Andr\u00e9 Steiner and the enigmatic art of J\u00e9r\u00f4me Zonder.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Commemorating the Holocaust\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An estimated 72,500 French Jews were murdered in the Holocaust. Despite the complicity and collaboration of elements of the French State and Nazi sympathizers, three quarters of the country\u2019s Jewish population survived the war. Those who died are commemorated by the Parisian Holocaust Memorial (Le M\u00e9morial de la Shoah). The memorial is actually a museum and not a monument and is located at 17 Rue Geoffroy l&#8217;Asnier towards the southern edge of the Marais.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After World War Two France struggled to face up to many aspects of the German occupation and its wartime history. Among the most difficult issues to explore was the deportation and murder of French Jewish citizens. Although there were many courageous acts of decency and altruism (Israel recognized many French people as members of the Righteous Among Nations for their heroism in protecting Jews) the\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">M\u00e9morial de la Shoah bears testimony not just to the German atrocities, but to the complicity of the Vichy regime.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gourmet or Gourmand?

Paris is arguably the best city in Europe to eat top quality kosher food and the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jewish community in Paris <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is very well served by its kosher restaurants, delis, charcuteries and markets. Kosher French food has a huge range of influences, including Ashkenazi, North African and Mediterranean, modern Israeli dishes &#8211; and several centuries of French culinary traditions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The restaurant business is notoriously tough with eateries coming and going all the time. Nothing beats local knowledge when you\u2019re planning a kosher food tour of any city, and a private guide will make sure that you visit the best restaurants, bakeries and street food joints in the city, as well as the most promising newcomers on the Parisian Jewish food scene. Some of our current favorites include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Le Train Bleu (Gare de Lyon station).

The shakshuka and desserts are also top notch.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Le Marais Cosher March\u00e9. If you want to stop for a snack while you\u2019re exploring the Marais, the centrally located Cosher March\u00e9 is a great place to pick up a sandwich or pastry or to buy food for a picnic in the park.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meet the Jewish Community in Paris<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14301\" src=\"https:\/\/www.giltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Discovering-the-Jewish-Heart-of-Paris5.jpg\" alt=\"Meet the Jewish Community in Paris\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.giltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Discovering-the-Jewish-Heart-of-Paris5.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.giltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Discovering-the-Jewish-Heart-of-Paris5-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.giltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Discovering-the-Jewish-Heart-of-Paris5-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.giltravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Discovering-the-Jewish-Heart-of-Paris5-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on who you count as a Jew, France\u2019s Jewish community has between 480,000 and 600,000 members &#8211; and is the third largest in the diaspora.
