It was the end of a long day, so the waking was a bit much, but necessary to see it all. Much of the tour was explaining what “used to be here”, so don’t expect so see anything similar to Jewish neighborhoods in other major cities. It has become very gentrified and homogenized.

the walking tour was nice , initially we had a difficulty in recognizing the guide since the walks in Europe told me that the guide will have a orange flag at the meeting point , the guide but didn’t have as he was not aware / not told so , hence I called walks in Europe to confirm the guide as I heard scammers are common in Paris ( sorry to say ) , it took 10 anxious minutes in the process , they could have prepared in a better way , otherwise the guide mr Thomas was nice/ apt/ good about the tour , the historical context and about places in la Marais related to Jewish history he elaborated well , visiting the shoah memorial was a solemn moment , hope the world cherishes humanity and equality , merci
