Chantal
French & Jewish Tour guide in Paris, Chantal do the Jewish tour in English / French
My name is Chantal, I am a guide and lecturer in Paris and FRANCE.
I have studied Art, History and languages in Sorbonne University, I continued my studies in the ‘Ecole du Louvre’
I decided to become a guide , following the advice of my beloved grandfather, who was one of the oldest guides in Paris and Europe.
He taught me all and I thank him for all the knowledge that I have acquired and shared with my guests during my years of experience.
I have worked and traveled with my grandfather for decades.
Being Jewish, French and half American, it was an enriching trip and a great pleasure to learn from him.
I began my Jewish tours 22 years ago, with Flora’s mother : Léontine, back when the restaurant Joe Goldenberg was live and open.
We focused on the Jewish heritage of Paris, then France and ultimately of Europe.
Certainly this specialization was due to the ‘silence’ of my family after the horrors of WWII …
But, I took the courage and decided to learn, to share, to transmit and tell about the history of the Jews of France, about my origins from North Africa because I am convinced it is a very important mission.
My family is half sephardim and half ashkenazi from Alsace, where I can also take you for a road trip or a train trip from Paris.
It is my will and my pleasure to help you discover the fascinating paths of the Jews of France, our days of joy, our difficult days, and what is the meaning of the famous quote : To be “Happy like a Jew in France”

Emma
Highly recommended Professional Tour Guide for the Museums of Paris
Speaks Perfect English & French
Emma holds qualifications in Art History from University College Dublin and La Sorbonne. Her innovative masters research focused on how Egyptian themes were used as propaganda in the public art of Napoleonic Paris.
One thing her research highlighted is that art, architecture and historical events don’t happen in a vacuum and it is only when you start looking at them in context that they really come to life.
She is a great story teller and communicator
Treasure Hunt in the Louvre
Emma has a passion for storytelling and so stories are central to the way she talks about history.
She is amazing with kids, she grabs their attention during her Treasure Hunts that she developed herself.
Kids learn better and retain the stories and the knowledge during the treasure hunts of the Louvre
I recommend her vividly for Treasure Hunts with Families !
TEACHER AT SORBONNE
She has worked as an educator and researcher at various cultural organisations and museums in France, Ireland and the UK – including the Louvre, Orleans House Gallery and the Arts Service of the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, where she managed a dynamic team of educators and designed educational programs for a wide range of age groups and backgrounds. She currently lectures in Museum Studies at the Sorbonne Nouvelle.
Jewish from her Father
Emma is Jewish from her Father and her Grandfather’s name, before the Shoah, was “Izrael”, then due to assimilation during the WWII , her grandfather fled France to go to Ireland and changed his name to Durand.
