Ma Hai area is a famous Jewish settlement in Paris, and it still retains the historical relics of17th century. The cobblestone pavement in the narrow lane is uneven, quiet and mysterious. I believe that Ma Hai area is a corner of Paris that many friends like very much. Ancient times, culture, literature and art, mystery, homosexuality, yuppies … there are too many words to give her. At that time, as a French wife, Maggie Cheung's favorite place was Ma Hai area. It won't be earth-shattering, but it will always bring unexpected surprises.

Attracted by her, because of the concentrated Jewish culture here.

Before saying this, let Sister Xiang briefly introduce the history of Mahei District.

Le Marais used to be a swamp wasteland (the word Marais means "swamp" in French). It was not until the 12 century that the holy monk army drained the swamp and Mahei began to have vitality. 200 years later, Jews settled here. In the 0/6th century, this palace was built around the Vosges Square of Henry IV. After that, the rich nobles followed the royal family and moved into Ma Hai area, where they successively built their own rich aristocratic houses. However, with the relocation of King Louis XIV of France and the French Revolution, Mahai suddenly fell from the height of the sun to the bottom of the valley and was once in ruins. It was not until the19th century that craftsmen and Jews moved in, and they came back to life and got better and better. It can be seen that the history of Mahei district is closely related to Jews. It is no exaggeration to say that it was the Jews who created the Mahe district today.

Nowadays, Ma Hai area has formed a unique charm and interesting area because of its historical origin and various cultural exchanges. She has the same artistic and humanistic atmosphere as Zuo 'an, but not Zuo 'an's elegant figure, but a little more wild as an artist. Like Right Bank, she has the characteristics of leading the fashion trend, but unlike the high-quality goods on Right Bank, it is homogeneous everywhere. On the contrary, because of the constant appearance of small designers, she gained a richer sense of design. So shopping in Mahei district is definitely a pleasure, because you never imagine what kind of surprises the next store will be full of.

If you have seen the movie Paris, I Love You, you may have left some impression on Mahathir. In the movie, a young man falls in love with another man who works in a studio at first sight ... and this kind of drama may be staged in Mahathir every day. Gay culture is another major feature of Mahathir region. You will find that the reason why you fall in love with Mahei District is precisely because of its diversity and tolerance. You won't feel out of place here, and when you leave, you will regret not staying a little longer.

There's so much to say about Mahei District. This time, I want to introduce Jewish culture here, some of which may be heavy and bear a historical memory. But more is the unique charm of multiculturalism itself, and it will be endless. Paris, the black area, is the best choice to feel the cultural diversity.

Museum of Jewish Art and History? small and medium-sized enterprises

This is a museum with the theme of Jewish art and history. The history of the museum can be traced back to 1986 and 1998 when it was officially opened. The museum not only describes the history of Jews in France, but also includes the history of Jews in other European countries and North Africa. We can see a large number of collections preserved since 12 century, as well as many ritual supplies, such as Sabbath clothes, Hanukkah utensils and so on.

On the second floor of the exhibition hall, there is a large area of literature about Dreyfus incident, totaling 2700 volumes! In addition to the text and photo exhibition, there are audio of the parties, documentaries about interviewing tourists about this incident, and so on. And the information is super informative. Sister Xiang stayed here for a whole afternoon and reviewed the history of the whole incident.

Holocaust memorial hall

June 27th, 2005 is the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Nazi concentration camp in Auschwitz, Poland. As part of the commemorative activities, the "Holocaust Memorial Hall" in Paris officially opened on the same day. The Paris Holocaust Memorial Hall was built to commemorate the French Jews persecuted by the German Nazis during World War II. Sister Xiangfa stayed in Nanjing for five years, and she didn't make up her mind to go to the Holocaust Memorial Hall. This time, she went to the Paris Holocaust Memorial Hall and was extremely depressed.

Outside the exhibition hall is a small memorial square, with several walls engraved with the names of 76,000 victims. The name of each victim is engraved on the wall according to the year. Inside the exhibition hall, there is a basement for the victims, as well as pictures, videos and many audio materials. Sister Xiang happened to have an exhibition of video materials when she went, which was taken by Soviet photographers on the eastern front of World War II.

I would like to remind you that for security reasons, the police are stationed in front of the two museums all the year round, and the security check is particularly strict when entering the museum. Invisibly gives people a sense of tension.

Well, these two museums should be said to be relatively heavy. Keeping out the cold has always been a very concerned food, so I will introduce some foods related to Jews and Jewish culture. First of all, I would like to recommend Rose Street, which is simply a snack street.

Mi-wa-mi

The name of this small shop is Hebrew, similar to French Qui est qui? His family mainly deals in traditional Middle East Israeli cuisine. Things like Fallafels, Pitas and Shawarma must not be missed. Fallafel is to soak chickpeas rich in the Middle East in water, grind and fry them into small balls, add ingredients such as onions and vegetables, and finally pour the boss's special sauce with 12 seasoning, and then wrap them in epithelial tower cakes.

Besides this store, there are three other stores in the same street, Falafel, which is also quite famous.

Marian's home

Have you been amazed by the decoration of his house? This wall crawling with creepers is really pleasant.

His family took root here from 1970, mainly focusing on Jewish cuisine in Eastern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, as well as Mediterranean cuisine with a long history. His decoration is also a traditional feature of Central and Eastern Europe. Have time to experience it.

Miznon

This store was opened in Mali, Paris on October 20 13. Refreshments and special minced meat sausages, including Burgundy beef, barbecue steak and chicken lettuce, can be tasted in small pieces.

His family is most famous for pita cake, Burgundy beef pizza and cauliflower, all of which are top-notch. His family's most famous is Burgundy beef pizza, and the meat quantity of Burgundy beef is simply horrible. In a big bag of meat buns, full of whole pieces of beef. This beef is stewed with red wine. Red wine has a special sweetness attached to beef, but what is even more wonderful is a salty taste like sauce, which is not sauce. After a long period of stewing, the taste of red wine is concentrated into gravy, and the bitterness of alcohol is removed, leaving only the mellow and delicious taste of grapes.

Cafe?

Drinking coffee requires going to those old cafes in frontispiece that look old and lonely. Compared with the Flower God and the Double Monkeys on Saint-Germain Street, they are not famous, but the flow of Flower God has been crowded with noisy tourists, and they can no longer find the grand occasion of intellectuals in the past. In the dark cafes in Mahei, there are often young artists with melancholy and thin faces who are holding a cup of cold coffee in a daze or writing on the coffee table. They may be Hemingway and Sartre tomorrow.

I recommend a typical one to you.

This cafe is run by a man named OSE. Uvre de secours des enfants) is run by members of the German Jewish organization, which is a children's rescue organization.

Cafe retains the atmosphere of Jewish culture, and it is also a place where everyone usually meets and chats. It provides coffee for one yuan. Come and have a cup of coffee in the afternoon and enjoy a slow life. His home's opening hours are also proud, Monday to Thursday 14h- 18h, Friday 14h- 16h, closed on Saturday and Sunday1h-19h.

bakery

There is also a bakery that makes everyone linger. It's definitely a classic.

This bakery has a warm history. As the owner Sacha Finkelsztajn's grandfather immigrated from Poland in 1930, he opened this bakery in this street, and it was passed on to the owner's parents in early 1970. It has been nearly 90 years.

Even the decoration of the bakery is very family-oriented. The outer wall is bright yellow, so everyone affectionately calls it "Xiaohuangdian". There will be a little blue shop soon.

In addition to bread and dessert, there are also unique Jewish snacks, and the variety is enough to make you dumbfounded.

Hale (or Harley, Charla)

Woven bread is the bread that Jews eat on Sabbath and other festivals. Let's pray first, and then share the bread together. Generally speaking, woven bread consists of three braids, which symbolize truth, peace and justice respectively. In addition to the original woven bread, poppy seeds or sesame seeds are usually placed on the surface of the bread to symbolize the food given by Moses and his people after they left Egypt. When making dough, you should add a proper amount of eggs and honey, so that the bread is light yellow from the inside out, thick in taste and fragrant with eggs and milk.

Baiji pancake

Woven bread can be found in all Jewish bakeries on Ruedes Rosiers Street. Besides, the bagel bread that everyone likes very much now, and even McDonald's has bagel sandwiches, which are all Jewish delicacies. First appeared in Austria, this chewy bread was made to be easy to carry, because it was very similar to the stirrup. In Austrian German, the stirrup was "beugel", and after simplification, the name became "bagel". In addition to the original flavor, bagels in hemp black areas also include sesame seeds and poppy seeds. Excellent taste and charming aroma.

Borek

If you want to try something new, you can also try Borek, because it is a triangle made of dough wrapped with stuffing, like an enlarged version of China jiaozi, and it is fried in a pot, so let's call it fried dumplings. Generally, the stuffing in this Jewish fried dumpling is spinach and goat cheese, so if you like goat cheese, don't miss this special food.

Boutique blue Florence Kaen Xiaolan branch

Rue des Rosiers has a dazzling array of Jewish cake houses, and Florence Kahn's blue house is the most literary one. This bakery is located in Rosier and? At the corner of Kufez Street, you should know that the exterior wall of his house, as an antique of 1932, has been listed as a historical relic and protected. My friend went to see it carefully. It's a cultural relic.

As soon as I entered the store, I was fascinated by his dazzling array of food. His family mainly provides sweet and salty Jewish food in Central and Eastern Europe, such as poppy rolls, cheesecake, oily herring, smoked beef and spicy tomato sauce.

Because Mahe district is dominated by Jewish culture, it is definitely not just museums and restaurants. As a Jewish community, the most important thing is to have your own beliefs. Of course, Jews who have settled here for a long time have also formed synagogues, chapels and other places of worship related to their religious culture. Interested friends may wish to go to church to experience Jewish culture. Sisters who enjoy dharma feel really different from other churches. Mahe district should be the most concentrated place of synagogues.

Museo Ebraico di Roma

Synagogue, especially synagogue.

This church is located on Pavée Road, so it is also called the synagogue. It was built by the Hasidic Jewish community in Russia in 19 13. The architect is Hector Guimard, a famous leader of Art Nouveau.

This synagogue was destroyed in the anti-Semitic movement in 194 1 and rebuilt after World War II.

Roger Fleischman

The word Oratoire refers to a chapel.

Armand Fleischmann was the first president of the French Jewish National Foundation. This chapel was built by Armand Fleischman in 193 1 in memory of his son Roger Fleischman who died at the age of 19. This is a place of prayer and education.

Tourne Le Street Synagogue

Built in 1876, this church is located in the center of Mahe district and is the second largest synagogue in France (the first synagogue is the cathedral in District 9). There is an oversized wild rose window on the outer wall of the church and a sculpture representing a watch. 1963, after Algerian Jews arrived in France, the Presbyterian Church in Paris decided to use this church for religious ceremonies of Algerian Jews, instead of Alsace religious ceremonies attended by a small number of Ashkenazi Jews who were killed in the Holocaust. Later, the ceremony of Ashkenazi Jews was held in the synagogue Charles Liché below.

Charlie Ritchie synagogue

This church is located in Vosges Square. It was originally just a place for singing and studying in the above-mentioned Les Church in Tourne. Later, after 1963, it was changed into a place where Ashkenazi Jews held religious ceremonies.

Speaking of Vosges Square, Sister Xiang can't help but say a few more words. Place de Vosges is a landmark building in Marais, and it is the oldest square in Paris. Almost every house here is associated with a prominent name. No.2 is the birthplace of the famous literary salon Marquise Sauvignon, where Moliere's famous play was read for the first time, thus opening a new chapter in French comedy. 1 1 is the residence of marion Delaume, a famous prostitute, while No. 2 1 living in Richmond, Archbishop of Cardinal; The former residence of Hugo VI has now become the Hugo Museum. Some thematic exhibitions are often held on the first floor. What we met was the sculpture exhibition "Rodin Facing Hugo". On the second floor, Hugo's study, Chinese living room, medieval restaurant and bedroom are preserved. The style is simple and tenacious, just like his compassion between the lines. Art lovers must not miss the gallery under the square. In fact, not only the gallery, but also the arcade itself is beautiful enough.

Nazareth synagogue

Built in 1822, this church is the oldest synagogue in Paris. 1852 partial reconstruction. It adopts rectangular colonnade layout, and the exterior wall adopts neo-Moore architectural style. During the first two thirds of the19th century, it was the main church, which could accommodate more than 1200 people. Only later, with the rise of other churches, its importance gradually decreased.

Whether it is sunny or rainy, let's go for a walk in Mahei District.
