The Synagogue of Rue Pavée

A living Art Nouveau masterpiece in the heart of the Marais

A unique heritage

The synagogue in 1917

Inaugurated on 7 June 1914, the Rue Pavée synagogue is the only place of worship ever designed by Hector Guimard, the master of French Art Nouveau. Its undulating stone façade is one of a kind in the world.

Commissioned by the Agoudas Hakehilos association, it remains an active Orthodox synagogue at the heart of the historic Jewish quarter — the Pletzl.
