Jewish Quarter Tours of Paris – Le Marais, Paris
Hello,
my name is Flora Goldenberg,
I am a Tour Guide specialized in the Jewish Walking Tours in Paris since I was 22.
I am Licensed by the state after studying History and Art at the Sorbonne University for 5 years, that’s why I also curate private museum tours like the Louvre, Versailles & Orsay …
I was born and raised in le Marais and the Jewish neighborhood of Paris is my Home: I am the granddaughter of Joe Goldenberg, owner of a famous restaurant in le Marais : Rue des Rosiers ( Pletzl). My mother is a tour guide as well, she inspired me in my work. We designed together the Jewish Walking Tour of our beautiful neighborhood.
Here is the list of my tours & some ideas for your stay :

We will explore the Jewish Quarter located in the heart of Paris, the “Pletzl”, which has been the center of Jewish life in Paris since the 13th century.
While walking in the paved narrow streets of Le Marais, you will learn about the history of the Jewish communities in Paris, for more than 2000 years. We will talk about the history of the Jews in the Middle ages, when they were persecuted and expelled from the country in 1394. We’ll talk about the time of the French Revolution, and the occupation of Paris during WWII, and you will have the chance to discover some hidden places that only a local can know about.
I organize visits inside the beautiful synagogues of the neighbourhood with the help of the local community.
We discover the Jewish shops, the Kosher bakeries and Jewish bookstores…
The tour includes a quick visit of the Holocaust memorial located at the end of the tour, in Le Marais.
