The Journey

Wander through its charming streets, lined with Jewish shops, bookshops, and kosher restaurants, reflecting the vitality of one of the world's largest Jewish communities. Discover the Agoudas Hakehilos Synagogue, a stunning landmark built in the early 1900s by Orthodox Jewish immigrants from Poland and Russia.
Synagogue des Tournelles
