Grande Synagogue de Paris, built between 1867 and 1874 by architect Alfred-Philibert Aldrophe.
Built between 1867 and 1874 by architect Alfred-Philibert Aldrophe, the Grande synagogue de Paris (or La Victoire synagogue) blends two styles: Romanesque and Byzantine. One of its highlights is a series of twelve stained-glass windows symbolizing the tribes of Israel. Witness to the history of the Parisian Jewish community since the 19th century, this spectacular place of worship lived through the dark hours of the Occupation and only regained its lustre in 1967.

Very nice synagogue, actually quite impressive.
We arranged for leil shabbat meal, I was surprised for ‘low’ price, but when we had seuda I understood…extremely simple food, reminded me camp food…
Leis shabbat service was a bit depressing, we were around 25-30 men and similar number of ladies. Very few locals. Rabbi Sebbag is very nice and his drasha (in French) was a good one.
Seuda: imagine you are in a camp but with older people. Sitting in U shaped tables. Organisers were nice.
Area seems safe, we walked back to our hotel close to Champs Elysees (35 min walk) with no problem.
Note:when you book meals online they ask you to bring ID, I called (unsuccessfully)10 times to ask how could we do that as there’s no eruv, I brought receipt & copy of our ID’s but nobody asked for it, they just checked we were in their list
