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 : Rue des Rosiers “Pletzl”.
My mother is a tour guide in Paris as well, she inspired me in my Jewish tours. We designed together the Original Jewish Walking Tour of our beautiful neighborhood.

Mes visites guidées en Français 
During the lockdown in Paris, we can get in touch via Zoom Video Conference and show you some of my virtual Tours.
Exceptional Virtual Tour – by Zoom – Duration 1 Hour
1. Heroines, Heroes, the Jewish personalities and beauties in the Louvre
Jewish women, or figures of the Old Testament will be a source of inspiration for many artists, painters or sculptors.
For each of them, their destiny is exceptional, and the diversity of their personalities as well.
We will discover together on this virtual tour, the portraits and stories of three women : Esther, Betsheba and Rebecca, painted by some of the greatest painters !
The paintings that I propose to discover are considered masterpieces in the Louvre.
These stories and personalities will nourish the inspiration of the artists through the centuries, and will give them a new exotic and colorful world to represent !
The tour will not take place in the Louvre, but I will present the pictures of the painting on screen. It is a better way to discover them, as thanks to the great quality of images, we can zoom in and see the details of the paintings really well.
It is a great way to introduce some of the Louvre masterpieces, as an avant-gout to your future visit in Paris, and in the biggest museum in the world !
I will be live with you, to explain about the stories behind the paintings and all the secrets that they hold, and to answer all your questions, during a 1 hour presentation.
Don’t hesitate to contact me as well for any other visual tour on demand.
It is possible to customize a tour of a museum or any neighborhood in Paris.
The tours can also be organized as virtual live tours in any location of your choice in Paris !
