Guided tour on the history of Jewish presence and immigration in France, viewed through a working-class neighbourhood.
From Yiddish Belleville before the Shoah to Sephardic Belleville after the decolonisations in North Africa, we will explore a contemporary history of Judaism in France. This route through Bas Belleville will take us in particular past synagogues, sites of memory of the Shoah and Jewish Resistance, Tunisian Jewish shops disappearing from the neighbourhood, and the spectacular belvedere of Belleville.
This guided tour is part of a "Histoire juive" cycle offered by Clément, which also includes a route on the spoliation of Jewish people by Vichy and the Nazis (1940-1944). These tours can be followed independently of one another.
Warning: the route involves stairs (going down).
