Best Jewish Tours Paris
Jewish Tours of Paris by Goldenberg Flora
I designed new trendy tours in Jewish Quarters of Paris to understand full the presence of Jews in France, but also to get a taste of the food and the vibrant life of Paris.
More than the classic Number#1 Tour of Le marais, I suggest that you discover the Jewish Louvre, Le Sentier, Belleville …
Le Louvre Jewish tour is about the Kingdom of Israel with Highlights of the biggest Museum of the world
Le Sentier Modern Food tour is designed to go in a trendy jewish area of Paris and get to see a Bread maker, a Chocolate Maker and many French Food Artisans at work.
I designed the Belleville Jewish Tour to show you a small eclectic area with small synagogues but the biggest jewish community in Paris center !
I also designed the Medicine Tour of Paris, to discover the beautiful area of Saint Germain and the Evolution of Medicine in Paris and how it impacted the Medicine in the Modern Western World.
Please consult with me by email to help you choose the right tour for you.
I will help you choose depending on your interests and needs !
I can also suggest for you Tour Packages with a good combination of these tours !

Exclusive Tour with Flora or Julie
We will start with the general History of Paris at the beautiful botanic gardens in the heart of Paris called : Jardin des Plantes, next to the trendy Saint Germain area.
During the Medicine Tour, we will visit the Parisian Garden of Plants, which is the main botanical garden in all France, then the beautiful Latin Quarter to see the University area in the heart of Paris, (and a visit to the Museum of Medicine History, depending on the opening days of the museum)
“Hôpital” is French for hospital. It is an old word borrowed from Latin “Hospitālis” which means hospice or shelter. Hospitals in Paris were, at first, shelters. Thanks to the Parisian physicians, their functions in Paris evolved rapidly during the last centuries.
We will discover how the hospitals evolved from a simple caritative, religious shelter, a refuge for pelgrim to a hub for famous discoveries and experiences that helped Humanity on the Planet and provided great insights about our anatomy.
This progress was not easy : I will tell you stories about the struggle with the church and the old french society, anecdotes about the Medicine at the Royal French Court, amusing tales about famous Kings injuries and how doctors treated their Kings, amazing medical discoveries in Paris, like Pasteur and his vaccination, pasteurization. We will see how limited were the tools for medical exploration during the middle ages, and how brilliant was the creativity and the talent of the doctors …
We will also see and talk about the different Paris buildings architectures, and how the hospital architecture evolved to adapt to its new functions.
We will go and walk in the beautiful Latin Quarter and see the University of Medicine of Paris, and we will talk about the actual situation, and how the doctors roles and perception evolved till today !
We will finish the visit with the Museum of Medicine History – available only on certain days – The museum is near the University, and I will recommend you some places to visit on your own in Paris
