Synagogue 19th-century Paris synagogue and Jewish worship site

The Synagogue de Nazareth is a 19th-century synagogue located in Paris, in the Île-de-France region. It is one of the city’s longstanding places of Jewish worship.

Located in Paris’s central arrondissements, the synagogue sits within the city’s historic urban fabric and is accessible by Paris public transport. It lies amid residential streets and commercial thoroughfares of the Île-de-France area.
