The Mahé district is a famous Jewish settlement in Paris, and it still retains the historical relics of the 17th century. The cobblestone pavement in the narrow lane is uneven, quiet and mysterious. I believe that the Mahai district is a corner of Paris that many friends like very much. Ancient, cultural, literary, mysterious, gay, yuppie … can give her too many words. At that time, as a French wife, Maggie Cheung's favorite place was also the Mahai district. It would not be earth-shattering, but it would always bring unexpected surprises.

I was attracted to her because of the concentrated Jewish culture here.

Before you say anything, let Sister Xiang briefly introduce the history of Mahei District.

Le Marais used to be a swamp wasteland (the word Marais means "swamp" in French). It was not until the 12th century that the Holy Monk Corps drained the swamp, and Mahei began to have vitality. After 2 years, Jews settled here. In the 16th century, the Royal Palace was built around the Plaza de Vosges of Henry IV, and only then did the rich and noble people follow the royal family to move into the Mahai district, where they built their rich and noble houses in succession. However, with the relocation of King Louis XIV of France and the French Revolution, Mahai suddenly fell from the height of the sun to the bottom of the valley and once became a ruin. It was not until the 19th century that artisans and Jews moved in that they came back to life and got better and better. It can be seen that the history of the Mahei district is closely related to the Jews. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the Jews who created the Mahei district today.

Nowadays, the Mahai district has formed a unique charm and interesting area because of its historical origin and various different cultural exchanges. She has the same artistic and humanistic atmosphere as Zuo 'an, but she doesn't have the elegant posture of Zuo 'an, but she has a little more wildness of artists. Like Right Bank, she has the characteristics of leading the fashion trend, but it is not as homogeneous as right bank's fine products everywhere. On the contrary, because of the constant appearance of small designers, she has gained a richer sense of design. Therefore, shopping in Mahei district is definitely a pleasure, because you never imagine what kind of surprises the next store will be full of.

If you have seen the film "Paris, I Love You", you may have left some impression on the Maher district. In the film, a young man fell in love with another man working in the studio at first sight ... and this kind of drama may be staged in the Maher district every day. Gay culture is another major feature of the Maher district. You will find that the reason why you fall in love with Mahei District is precisely because it is diverse and inclusive. You won't feel out of place here, and when you leave, you will regret not staying for a while.

There are too many things to say about the Mahei district. This time, I want to introduce the Jewish culture here, some of which may be heavy and bear a historical memory. But more is the unique charm of multiculturalism itself, and she will be endless. And Paris, the black area, is the best choice to feel the cultural diversity.

Musée d'Art et d'Histoire du Juda, Jewish Museum of Art and History? Sme

This is a museum with the theme of Jewish art and history. The history of the museum can be traced back to 1986, and it was officially opened in 1998. The museum not only describes the history of Jews in France, but also includes the history of Jews in other European countries and North Africa. We can see a large number of collections preserved since the 12th century, as well as many ceremonial objects, such as Sabbath suits, Hanukkah utensils and so on.

On the second floor of the exhibition hall, there is a considerable area of literature about Dreyfus incident, with as many as 2,7 copies! In addition to the text and photo exhibition, there are audio of the parties, documentaries of interviews with tourists about this incident, etc., and the information is super informative. Sister Xiang stayed here for a whole afternoon and reviewed the history of the whole incident.

The Holocaust Memorial Mé morial de la Shoah

January 27th, 25 is the 6th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration camp in Auschwitz, Poland. As part of the commemorative activities, the "Holocaust Memorial Hall" in Paris was officially opened on that day. The Holocaust Memorial Hall in Paris was built to commemorate the French Jews persecuted by German Nazis during World War II. After staying in Nanjing for five years, Sister Xiang Fa didn't make up her mind to go to the Holocaust Memorial Hall. This time, she went to the Holocaust Memorial Hall in Paris, and her mood was extremely low.

outside the exhibition hall is a small memorial square, and next to it are several walls engraved with the names of 76, victims. Each victim's name is engraved on the wall according to the year. Inside the exhibition hall, there is a basement for the victims, as well as pictures, videos and many audio materials. When Sister Xiang went there, there happened to be an exhibition of video materials, which were taken by Soviet photographers on the Eastern Front during World War II.

I would like to remind you that, for security reasons, there are police stationed in front of these two museums all the year round, and the security check when entering the museum is particularly strict. Invisibly, it gives people a feeling of tension.

———————————————————————————————

Well, these two museums are rather heavy. Keeping out the cold has always been very concerned about everyone's food, so I will introduce some foods related to Jews and Jewish culture. First of all, I would like to recommend Rue des Rosiers, which is simply a snack street.

Mi-Va-Mi

The name of this small shop is Hebrew, which is similar to the French Qui est qui? His family is mainly engaged in traditional Middle East Israeli food. Things like Fallafels, Pitas and Shawarma are absolutely not to be missed. Fallafel is made by soaking chickpeas rich in the Middle East in water, grinding and frying them into small balls, adding ingredients such as onions and vegetables, and finally pouring the sauce specially made by the boss with 12 seasonings, and wrapping them with pita.

besides this store, there are three other stores in the same street, Falafel, which are also quite famous.

Chez Marianne

Was he amazed by the decoration of his house? This wall full of creepers is really delightful.

His family began to take root here in 197, mainly focusing on Jewish cuisine from Eastern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, as well as Mediterranean cuisine, which has a long history. His decoration is also a traditional feature of Central and Eastern Europe. You may wish to experience it when you have time.

Miznon

this store is a small flavor shop opened in Marais, Paris in 213. It offers refreshments and special minced meat sausages, including Burgundy beef, barbecue steak and chicken lettuce, and can be tried in small pieces.

The most famous products in his family are pita cake, Burgundy beef Pizza and roasted cauliflower, all of which are top-notch products. The most famous product in his family is Burgundy beef pizza. The meat quantity of Burgundy beef is simply horrible. In a meat bun with a big pocket, it is filled with a whole piece of beef. This beef is stewed with red wine, and red wine has a special sweetness attached to the beef, but what is even more wonderful is a salty taste like sauce, which is not sauce. After a long period of stew, the taste of red wine is concentrated into gravy, and the bitterness of alcohol is removed, leaving only the mellow grape, which is delicious.

Cafe

When drinking coffee, you should go to those old cafes in frontispiece that look old and down-and-out. Compared with the Flower God and the Double Monkeys on Saint-Germain Street, they are not famous, but the flow of Flower God has been filled with noisy tourists, and they can't find the grand scene of the former cultural people. In those faint cafes in Mahei, there are often young artists with melancholy faces and thin faces who are holding a cup of cold coffee in a daze, or writing on the coffee table. They may be Hemingway and Sartre of tomorrow.

let me recommend a typical one to you.

this cafe is run by a man named OSE(L'? Uvre de secours des enfants) is run by members of the German Jewish organization, which is a children's rescue organization.

Cafe retains the atmosphere of Jewish culture, and it is also a place where people usually gather and chat. It provides one yuan of coffee. Come and have a cup of coffee in the afternoon and enjoy a slow life. The opening hours of his home are also quite proud, ranging from 14h to 18h every Monday to Thursday, from 14h to 16h on Friday, and closed on Saturday and from 11h to 19h on Sunday.

Bakery

There is also a bakery that makes people linger. It is definitely a classic among the classics.

This bakery has a warm history. Since the grandfather of the owner Sacha Finkelsztajn immigrated from Poland in the 193s, he opened this bakery in this street, and it was passed on to the owner's parents in early 197. It has been nearly 9 years since then.

Even the decoration of the bakery is very family-style. The exterior wall is bright yellow, which is why everyone affectionately calls it "Little Yellow Shop". There will be a little blue shop soon.

In addition to bread and desserts, there are also unique Jewish snacks, and the variety is enough to make you stunned.

Hale (or Halle, Challah)

Braided bread is the bread that Jews eat on the Sabbath and other festivals. Everyone prays first and then shares it. In general, braided bread is made of three strands of braids, which symbolize truth, peace and justice respectively. In addition to the original braided bread, poppy seeds or sesame seeds are usually placed on the surface of the bread, symbolizing the food given by Moses and his people after they left Egypt. When making dough, you should add a proper amount of eggs and honey to it, so that the made bread has a light yellow color from the inside out and tastes thick with egg and milk fragrance.

Bagel Bagel

Braided bread can be found in all the Jewish bakeries on Ruedes Rosiers Street. Besides, Bagel bread, which is now popular among people, and bagel sandwiches even in McDonald's are Jewish food. It first appeared in Austria, and this kind of chewy bread was made to be convenient to carry, because it was very similar to stirrup, and the stirrup in Austrian German was "beugel", and the name became "bagel" after simplification. In addition to the original flavor, bagel in Mahei district also has sesame seeds and poppy seeds, etc., with excellent taste and charming aroma.

Borek

If you want to try something fresh, you can also try Borek, because it is a triangle made of dough wrapped with stuffing, like an enlarged version of China jiaozi, and it is fried in a pan, so call it fried jiaozi. Generally, the fillings in this Jewish fried jiaozi are spinach and goat cheese, so if you like goat cheese, don't miss this special food.

Boutique Bleue de Florence Kahn's Little Blue Store

There are many beautiful cakes in p>Rue des Rosiers, and Florence Kahn's blue house is the most artistic. This bakery is located in Rosiers and? At the corner of couffes street, you should know that the outer wall of his house, as an antique in 1932, has been listed as a historical relic and protected. Watch carefully when friends go, they are cultural relics.

As soon as you enter the store, you will be fascinated by his family's dazzling array of food. His family mainly provides sweet and salty Jewish food in Central and Eastern Europe, such as poppy rolls, cheesecake, oily herring, smoked beef, spicy tomato paste and so on.

————————————————————————

Since the Mahei district is dominated by Jewish culture, it is definitely not just museums and restaurants. As a Jewish community, the most important thing is to have its own beliefs. Of course, Jews who have settled here for a long time have also formed places of worship such as synagogues and chapels related to their religious culture. Interested friends may wish to go to the church to feel the Jewish culture. The sister who enjoys the law feels that it is really different from other churches. Mahei district should be the most concentrated place of synagogue.

Synagogue Agouda Shakehilos

Synagogue refers to synagogue.

this church is on the road of Pavée, so it is also called Synagogue de la rue Pavée e. The church was built in 1913 by the Hasidic Jewish community in Russia, and its architect is Hector Guimard, the famous leader of Art Nouveau.

This synagogue was destroyed in the anti-Semitism movement in 1941 and rebuilt after World War II.

oratoire Roger fleischman

the word oratoire refers to a chapel.

Armand Fleischman was the first president of the French Jewish National Foundation. This chapel was built by Armand Fleischman in 1931 to commemorate his son Roger Fleischman, who died at the age of 19. It was a place for prayer and education.

Synagogue de la rue des Tournelles

Built in 1876, this church is located in the center of the Mahé district, and it is the second largest synagogue in France (the first synagogue is located in the ninth district). There is an oversized rosa multiflora window on the outer wall of the church, and there is a sculpture representing the watch. In 1963, after Algerian Jews arrived in France, the Parisian Presbyterian Church decided to use this church for religious ceremonies of Algerian Jews, replacing the Alsatian religious ceremonies attended by a small group of Ashkenazi Jews who were killed in the Holocaust. Later, the ceremony of Ashkenazi Jews was held in the Synagogue Charles Liché church below.

Synagogue Charles Liché

This church is located in Vosges Square. It was originally just a place for singing and studying in the above-mentioned Tournelles Church, and later it was changed into a place for religious ceremonies of Ashkenazi Jews after 1963.

When it comes to the Plaza de Vosges, Sister Xiang can't help saying a few more words. The Plaza de Vosges is a landmark building in the Maré e district, and it can be called the oldest square in Paris. Almost every house here is connected with a famous name. No.2 is the birthplace of the famous literary salon, Marquise Sauvignon, where Moliere's famous script was first recited, thus opening a new chapter in French comedy. No.11 is a famous prostitute Marion.
