Rue des Rosiers (Street of the Rosebushes), Paris
Rue des Rosiers, or "Street of the Rosebushes", is a winding, pedestrian-only street running through the historic Jewish quarter in Marais. Jewish communities have lived in the nearby neighborhood since the 13th century and the area used to be called "The Old Jewry".
During the last two decades, Rue des Rosiers has been going through a transformation, seeing many fashion boutiques moving in. Fortunately, however, the Jewish shops and restaurants have stayed on, so you can still find the kosher restaurants with delicious kosher cuisine that follows all kosher rules.
With its yellow façade, Boutique Jaune at #27 is perhaps the most traditional Yiddish bakery you'll find. Having been family-run for three generations, it retains a delightfully old-school vibe. Since its opening in 1946, shopping at Boutique Jaune has changed very little, adding to its charm.
Similar to the nearby Rue des Francs-Bourgeois, shops on Rue de Rosier remain open on Sunday, so the street is another meeting point for Parisians who want to eat out and shop on Sunday or during any of the off days.
