European Jewish Tours Offers Jewish History Tours of Paris and Provence


Rachel Kaplan, is President and Founder of European Jewish Tours, a cultural tourism company that reflects her passion for Jewish history and heritage. With European Jewish Tours groups and individuals will discover through private guided tours the Jewish heritage of their family and ancestors. While European Jewish Tours places special emphasis on Jewish sites and history, our guests can customize their tour to include other sites of interest described in it sister companies, French Links Tours.

Having migrated to Europe with the Romans over two-thousand years ago, the Jewish people have left an indelible mark on the continent, in spite of their tragic history. Sixty years after the Holocaust, both Jews and non-Jews, private citizens and government bodies, have worked tirelessly to restore and reclaim Jewish heritage sites, and have built new ones, that at long last, do justice to the Jewish people of Europe.Today, Great Britain celebrates Jewish Heritage Week, Paris and Berlin boast fine new museums dedicated to Jewish art and history, and Rome boasts some of the finest Jewish archaeological sites on the Continent.

Knowing that many of her guests have sought out her Jewish tours of Paris and London, often a high point of a trip abroad, Rachel Kaplan is now extending her programs to include tours of Jewish heritage sites in other parts of Europe, including Provence. These special interest tours focus on Jewish art, history and heritage, thus appealing to a broad range of secular organizations, businesses, individuals and families.

European Jewish Tours will help travelers to plan a family vacation, a bar/bat mitzvah or a honeymoon. Their aim is to show that Jewish travel abroad is deeply fulfilling, as well as moving and entertaining. In addition to offering private guided tours, European Jewish Tours can organize kosher receptions and holiday celebrations, as well as weddings and bar or bat mitzvahs that will appeal to both Sephardic and Ashkenazic families. For those guests with special dietary requirements, they will be offered a free listing of fine kosher restaurants when they book with European Jewish Tours. They will also be given a listing of local synagogues, should they wish to attend services while traveling abroad, and a listing of Jewish events held throughout the year.
