Meaningful. Beautiful. And Delicious!
Welcome to Jewish Alsace.
Are you aware of Alsace's rich Jewish history?
With over a hundred rural synagogues and centuries-old cemeteries, the Alsace region in Eastern France is a best-kept secret on the road to Jewish heritage in Europe.
Because Jews have lived here since the Middle Ages, this region is full of case studies in coexistence, identity, political & socio-economic policy, integration and more.
Great for intergenerational travel, as people of all ages can connect to stories and historical artifacts. And great for those who like the good life - gastronomy and beauty abound. This is a favorite place for so many people. Come see why.
Hello! I plan meaningful tours that incorporate the art-de-vivre that this region has to offer.
I'm an American expat in Alsace. I've worked for the airlines, give intercultural trainings, and have lived here for many years.
I love this region and look forward to sharing it with you by carefully listening for what you're looking for and creating experiences to match.
