Visite guidée : Le Marais Juif

The Marais is also the district traditionally associated with the Jewish community, even though it is in fact just a few streets and the Jewish population has long been settled throughout the Parisian territory and no longer just around the traditional "pletzl".

The visit will lead along the past and present footprints of Jewish life in the district, between streets and shops, synagogues and discreet oratories, including the famous one built in Art Nouveau style by Guimard, creator of the Parisian metro stations. The tour will also introduce, without visiting them inside, two superb museums dedicated to Jewish history and art in France, not to mention several unknown and hidden "treasures" as well as diverse and astonishing anecdotes.

The tour will offer an opportunity to reflect on the current situation of the Jewish community in France as well as the irreversible evolution of the district, which is increasingly touristy, where clothing boutiques are taking precedence over traditional businesses.

Good to know: Tour organized in partnership with the Val de Marne Tourist Office. The exact meeting place for the visit will be stated on the voucher, after purchase.
