The tours
Four ways into Jewish Paris
One page, one intention: every tour is private, priced per person, and led by me.
The Marais & the Pletzl
The historic heart of Jewish Paris: rue des Rosiers, the hidden synagogues, the old Pletzl, told from the inside by an official guide of the Museum of Jewish Art and History.

The Louvre, a Jewish Reading
From ancient Judea to the great collectors: the Louvre holds a Jewish story most visitors walk past. My degree in Art History from Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne is what turns this visit into a reading, not a stroll. Available by day, or as a Louvre by Night visit on Wednesday evenings.

Musée d'Orsay: A Journey Through the Birth of Modern Art
The Musée d'Orsay is much more than a museum of Impressionism. It is a museum of transition: the place to witness one of the most fascinating turning points in the history of Western art, read by an art historian.

Secret Jewish Paris
Jewish Paris does not end at the Marais. This tour follows the lesser-known map: the 9th arrondissement synagogues, faubourg courtyards, memorial plaques and the neighborhoods where Jewish Paris actually lives today.

Traveller words
What guests say
“Orlie showed us a Marais we would never have found alone. Hearing the history of the Pletzl in Hebrew made it unforgettable for my parents.”
“A small private tour, no rushing, real depth. The MAHJ visit with her was the highlight of our trip.”
“We had been to the Louvre twice before. This was the first time it meant something. Orlie connects the art to our history without ever simplifying.”
“Small group, no rushing, brilliant storytelling in English.”
“Our third trip to Paris, and Orlie still showed us places we had never heard of. The 9th arrondissement synagogues are breathtaking.”
“This is the tour for people who think they know Paris. We walked, we talked, we understood.”
