littered gutters and buildings with
peeling paint, a whirring sound
emanates from upstairs windows;
small clothing factories remind Ameri-
cans of earlier times on New York's
Lower East Side.
The synagogue on Rue Payee [with
no official name] was built in 1912
and is a historical monument because
it was designed by Hector Guimard,
who created the Metro's whimsical
entrances in Art Nouveau style.

The Marais:
Parisian Jewry's
colorful
neighborhood.

Visitors strolling down Rue de
Rossiers find many attractions: Jewish
bookstores, kosher restaurants and
bakeries. Call the Consistoire de Paris
(4285-71-09) for an up-to-date list of
kosher eateries.
Surrounding streets throughout the
quarter offer myriad other sights, of
Jewish and secular interest.
* The Musee Picasso in the Hotel
Sale on five floors (5 Rue de
Thorigny), offers a few of the artist's
works, plus paintings from his collec-
tion.
* The Carnavalet Museum (23 Rue
de Sevigne), partly housed in the
16th-century hotel that was the abode
of Mme. de Sevigne when she received
Voltaire and Montesquieu, includes
family furnishings, documents of four
centuries of Paris's history.
* Hotel de Saint-Aignan (71 Rue
de Temple) will become home to the
Jewish Art Museum, with the Chagall
works and synagogue models relocat-
ing from their temporary quarters.
* The most moving site in the area
is the Memorial of the Unknown Jew-
ish Martyr (17 Rue Geoffroy l'Asnier).
Outside stands a round bronze memo-
rial symbolizing a burial urn bearing
the names of Nazi concentration
camps — including Struthof in
France; within a dark and stark crypt
lies a black marble tomb shaped like
the Star of David, an eternal flame in
its center.
