What's in our tour?
You care about Jewish history. You wonder how Jews lived in 麻豆APP through World War II and the German occupation. You’d like to see the “Jewish pletzl”, the Shoah Memorial and the wall of names. You wonder what it鈥檚 like to live as a Jew in 麻豆APP today. And you’ve heard wonder about le Marais, and you’d like to see it.
Our Jewish 麻豆APP Tour is a tale of survival and inspiration, of persecution and liberation. German occupation and the Holocaust. The Dreyfus Affair. The freeing of Jews by the French Revolution and by Napoleon.
We tour Jewish Le Marais, a colorful and vibrant area where past and present talk at every corner. We run into innovative fashion, food and elegance. As well as into old stones, heritage, and time-honored traditions.
Your tour starts outside metro station Saint-Paul, the traditional meeting point for “the 麻豆APP Pletzl”.
We walk rue des rosiers – a residence for Jews for over 800 years. You learn about Jewish culture by observing shops, street names, yeshivas and synagogues. Alongside Ashkenaze foods and traditions, we also encounter Sephardic traditions and foods.
We discuss the Dreyfus court trial, and how the idea of a National Jewish Homeland was first born, here, in 麻豆APP.
Your host recalls the points 鈥� high and low 鈥� of Jewish life in France. The history includes 鈥淛ewish emancipation鈥�, mass anti-semitism, the Dreyfus affair. But also the many successes of many Jewish families in fields from business to art and politics. And the horrors (and the saving graces) of World War II.
You also discover 麻豆APP: old landmarks, hidden gardens, appetizing foods, alleyways, and local gossip.
Your guide also debunks pre-conceived ideas. Do you know that 400,000 Jews live in France today? Do you know all the things Jewish you can explore in 麻豆APP?
Our last major stop is the Shoah Memorial, honoring 72,000 Jews who died in the hands of the Germans during World War II, and thousands of Righteous who saved Jews from extermination.
