Jewish Quarter Paris Tours – Le Marais Jewish walking tour
Welcome to Jewish Paris Tours,
my name is Flora Goldenberg,
I am a Tour Guide specialized in the Jewish Walking Tours in Paris.
I am Licensed by the state, after studying History and Art at the Sorbonne University for 5 years, that’s why I tour in all museums and monuments of my city like the Louvre, Versailles, Orsay.
I am born and raised in Paris, in le Marais. The Jewish Quarter of Paris has always been my Home: I am the granddaughter of Joe Goldenberg, owner of a famous restaurant in le Marais. My family lived in Rue des Rosiers “Pletzl” for more than a century.
My mother is a tour guide in Paris as well, she inspired me in my Jewish tours. We share the same passion and we designed together the Original Jewish Walking Tour of our beautiful neighborhood.
