Synagogue Charles Liché

Synagogue Charles Liché occupies the first floor of Hôtel de Ribault at Place des Vosges and displays architectural features typical of Marais buildings. The interior combines traditional religious spaces with simple, functional design that supports Jewish worship services.

The synagogue was established in 1963 and received its current name in 2006 to honor Charles Liché, who served as a prayer leader at another synagogue on Rue des Tournelles. This naming recognized his significant role within the local Jewish community.

This place of worship serves as a gathering point for the local Jewish community within the Marais neighborhood. Visitors can experience religious ceremonies and community events that reflect the ongoing Jewish presence in this historic district.

The building sits directly on Place des Vosges, one of the most recognizable squares in the Marais with easy access and clear orientation in the area. Visitors should know that the synagogue is housed in a private building and it is wise to call ahead or check opening times before visiting.

Place des Vosges was once called Place des Juifs because a large Jewish population lived in this area in the 18th century. This former name shows that the Marais has been a center of Jewish life in Paris for a very long time.
