Paris Jewish Quarter Walking Tour

Walk through Le Marais and discover the stories woven into Paris’s Jewish quarter. This guided Paris Jewish Quarter Walking Tour explores more than 2,000 years of Jewish presence in France, from periods of hardship to the community’s cultural influence, especially during the 19th century.

Follow historic streets around Rue des Rosiers, passing hidden synagogues, oratories, and memorial sites while learning about the neighborhood’s past and present. Along the way, spot falafel counters, Mediterranean eateries, and Eastern European pastry shops that reflect Le Marais’s lively food culture. The walk includes a visit to Paris’s oldest functioning synagogue, tucked on the second floor of an 18th-century building; a donation is requested there. The tour ends at the Museum of Jewish Art and History.

Join this Paris Jewish Quarter Walking Tour for a thoughtful look at the people, places, and traditions that have shaped the neighborhood. Meet at the exit of Metro Saint-Paul and explore Le Marais on foot.
