Jewish France

Jewish Compass lists 138 synagogues, 124 kosher restaurants, 102 kosher stores, 33 kosher caterings and 16 kosher certification hechshers in France.

France has the largest Jewish community in Europe, with a history that stretches from medieval Provence and the great Torah scholars of the Middle Ages through to the large, vibrant community of today, strengthened in the twentieth century by Jews from North Africa.

Paris and its suburbs hold the heart of the community, but kosher infrastructure — restaurants, bakeries, synagogues, and mikvahs — is found in cities across the country, from the Riviera to Strasbourg.

Browse Jewish Compass for kosher restaurants, synagogues, mikvahs, and Jewish landmarks throughout France.
