Rue des Rosiers, Historic Jewish street in Le Marais, Paris, France.
Description
Rue des Rosiers is a pedestrian street in Paris that links Rue Malher with Rue Vieille du Temple across 303 meters in the fourth arrondissement. Between bookshops, delicatessens and jewellery workshops, low facades with wrought iron balconies and painted wooden doors line the route.
History
In the Middle Ages Jewish craftsmen settled here, forming a more permanent community in the 19th century after repeated expulsions. After 1945 Ashkenazi and Sephardi families arrived, shaping the quarter as it appears now.
Culture
The name comes from medieval rose gardens that once lined this route. Today bilingual shopfronts, religious bookshops and the aroma of freshly baked challah shape the mood on Friday evenings before Shabbat.
Practical
On weekdays the street is calmest in the mornings, while afternoons and evenings see more visitors passing through. Restaurants and bakeries open continuously on Sundays, which is not always the case during the week.
Did you know?
Several facades still carry small mezuzah cases beside the doorposts, a sign of religious tradition in the public space. The street is among the few in Paris to carry officially bilingual signage.
