Jewish cemeteries in Bordeaux, Historical Jewish cemeteries in Bordeaux, France
Three Jewish cemeteries located on Cours de la Marne, Cours de l'Yser, and Rue Sauteyron showcase traditional burial practices with rectangular stone slabs and Hebrew inscriptions.
The establishment of these cemeteries began in 1724 when David Gradis purchased land for the Cours de la Marne site, marking the first dedicated Jewish burial ground in Bordeaux.
The grave markers display epitaphs in Spanish, Portuguese, and Hebrew languages, reflecting the diverse origins of Bordeaux's Jewish community from different European regions.
Only the Cours de l'Yser cemetery remains operational today, containing over 5,400 graves and maintaining regular access for community members and visitors.
The cemeteries contain the graves of significant figures including Rabbi Joseph Cohen and temporarily housed Hans Herzl before his remains were transferred to Israel in 2006.
