Jewish history in Le Marais

Published on Jan, 2025

Seeing Le Marais in the context of Jewish history up to the present day gave me a fascinating insight into the history of Le Marais. I felt a deeper understanding of French Jewish history and culture and it took away the somewhat superficial aspects of being a tourist.
