Paris 19th: spirituality, community fervor and transmission

The 19ᵉ arrondissement is one of the most dynamic centers of contemporary Jewish life in Paris. Home to numerous Sephardic and Ashkenazi synagogues, community schools, cultural centers and a strong religious and family presence, it's the perfect place to hold a respectful Jewish Bar Mitzvah, rooted in tradition and surrounded by the community.

I'm Laurent Baranes, a photographer specializing in Bar and Bat Mitzvahs. Ranked 57ᵉ world photographer by the WPE, I produce bespoke reports that are elegant, faithful and focused on emotion and spirituality.
