What you can expect

Begin your tour at the Synagogue des Tournelles and set off on a walking tour of the Marais district. Learn about the history of the Jewish community in France, which dates back to the first century.

See the Synagogue Littré, Synagogue de la rue Pavé, Rue des Rosiers, Jardin Migneret, Village Saint Paul, and the Monument de la Shoah.

Then, begin your food tour and visit 2 food stations. Discover how food tells the storey of Jewish life in the city, its migrations, adaptations, and cultural encounters.

Learn about how Paris became a meeting point between Ashkenazi Jews from Central and Eastern Europe and Sephardic Jews from North Africa and the Mediterranean.

In areas like the Marais, traditional Eastern European dishes such as rugelach, gefilte fish, and pastrami were adapted to French ingredients, tastes, and kosher regulations. Later, the arrival of North African Jews introduced new flavours, techniques, and dishes like couscous, borek, and spiced meats creating a distinctly Parisian Jewish cuisine that exists nowhere else in quite the same way.

End the tour in a traditional jewish restaurant, where you will have the opportunity to have lunch or dine if you wish to.
