Paris 3rd: between Jewish culture, tradition and Parisian charm

The 3rd arrondissement, in the heart of the historic Marais district, is one of the most symbolic neighborhoods for Jewish families in Paris. Here you'll find iconic synagogues, community institutions, a strong cultural atmosphere and elegant venues for a Bar Mitzvah in keeping with tradition.

I'm Laurent Baranes, Bar Mitzvah photographer in Paris, specializing in high-end Jewish family events. Rated 57ᵉ world photographer by the WPE, I create sincere, luminous, timeless images - with the utmost respect for spiritual values and rhythm.

Bar Mitzvah venues in Paris 3rd arrondissement

Religious sites

• Grande Synagogue de Nazareth (15 rue Notre-Dame-de-Nazareth)
  One of the oldest Ashkenazi synagogues in Paris, monumental, solemn and very active.
• Synagogue 17 rue des Rosiers (nearby)
  For Sephardic or Orthodox families wishing a more intimate ceremony.
• Jewish community center: possibility of a chuppa, symbolic ceremony or integrated reception

Reception and meals

• Private areas around the Marais or Carreau du Temple: lofts, galleries, private mansions
• Hôtel du Petit Moulin or Maison Bréguet: confidential charm, private lounges
• On-site or delivery kosher caterers: kosher Beth Din or Loubavitch

Photo session

• Rue des Rosiers, Place du Marché Sainte-Catherine: old Marais ambience
• Square du Temple, Archives Nationales, rue Vieille du Temple: urban nature, ancient stones
• Passages, cobbled courtyards, ancient doorways: the perfect backdrop for elegant family photos

Mastery of Jewish rituals and documentary sensitivity

I photograph each stage of this symbolic day with discretion, respect and visual storytelling:

• Preparations for the boy and his parents
• Torah reading (if authorized), tefilin wearing, blessings
• Family speeches, presentation of talith or siddur
• Official portraits and natural moments
• Cocktails, dinner and traditional dances
• Joyful atmosphere, laughter from the children, emotion from the grandparents

Photographic style

• Natural, structured reporting
• Luminous images, true to the moment
• Careful framing, cultural details respected
• No artificial staging, just the real thing.
