These special days, celebrated all over France, open the door to the rich history of our heritage, revealing the hidden treasures of our towns and villages. And Sarcelles is no exception with a whole host of visits and events to mark the occasion Sarcelles, located in the Val-d'Oise département Its history dates back to Merovingian times and over the centuries Sarcelles has transformed itself From its ancient Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul church to the remnants of its rural past the town offers a striking panorama of urban and cultural evolution le programme est mis à jour en fonction des annonces officielles This page may contain AI-assisted elements, more information here Refer your establishment, click herePromote your event, click here speaks as the Imam of the eastern suburb of Drancy and others listen during a ceremony at the synagogue of Sarcelles after pro-Palestinian protests in Paris and Sarcelles Jewish and Muslim communities have lived together for decades Both communities are composed mostly of French citizens from North Africa But in the wake of last week's terror attacks there are no "Je suis Charlie" signs in Sarcelles Such signs are otherwise ubiquitous across France amid an outpouring of support for victims of last week's terror siege Twelve people were killed at the offices of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo Four others were killed at a kosher supermarket two days later A policewoman was killed in a separate attack I am not Charlie!" says Sarcelles resident Abdel Nour whose family straddles Sarcelles' sectarian divide and my wife is a Jew — a Jew from Israel." Nour says both he and his wife are sad about the attacks in Paris where it seems that nearly everyone is religious — Muslim or Jew — public support for Charlie Hebdo is risky Many Sarcellois are worried about offending their Muslim neighbors if they publicly display posters reading "Je suis Charlie," or "I am Charlie," in solidarity with the magazine Its newest cover features a caricature of the Prophet Muhammad but they're looking [out for themselves] first and Charlie after," Nour says A white van filled with French police is parked in front of Sarcelles' main synagogue A French soldier with an automatic weapon paces back and forth in front of the synagogue's main gate "It's quiet and peaceful," says Noa Fitoussi enjoying coffee across the street from the synagogue Fitoussi worries Sarcelles' peace is fragile young Muslims on the fringes of a pro-Palestinian march tried to attack a synagogue in Sarcelles Some Jews here say such strife reinforces their Jewish identity Most of Sarcelles' Jews are Sephardic — of Spanish descent — and ended up in North Africa when Spain expelled its Jewish population in the Middle Ages Many came to mainland France after living in French Algeria and the French colony of Tunisia for generations Many members of the town's Muslim population are from those same countries and share the same cultural and linguistic history Maria Ribeiro is a Portuguese Jew who immigrated to France more recently "Muslim radicals are trying to provoke us Jews," Riberio says We want to live in harmony with Muslims in Sarcelles Our neighbors are not the people who did this." In a halal chicken shop near a kosher cafe Muslim men sip sweet tea and speak a mix of French and Arabic "We're all one here in Sarcelles — not Muslim Over the course of a day spent in Sarcelles everyone NPR met was either an Orhodox Jew or an observant Muslim But it was difficult to find any Jews and Muslims actually sharing their coffee together Become an NPR sponsor France — In the usually lively “Little Jerusalem” neighborhood of Sarcelles the only people loitering are gun-toting French soldiers on patrol Since Hamas’ deadly assault against Israel on October 7 this largely Jewish enclave in the northern suburbs of Paris has gone eerily quiet with locals keeping their movements to a minimum and with restaurants and cafés bereft of their regular clientele — fearing an increasing number of antisemitic attacks across France they’ve lost their love for life” said Alexis Timsit nobody taking a stroll,” he said in front of a large screen broadcasting round-the-clock coverage of the war France has seen more antisemitic incidents in the last three weeks than over the past year: 501 offenses ranging from verbal abuse and antisemitic graffiti to death threats and physical assaults have been reported Antisemitic acts under investigation include groups gathering in front of synagogues shouting threats and graffiti such as the words “killing Jews is a duty” sprayed outside a stadium in Carcassonne in the southwest The interior minister has deployed extra police and soldiers at Jewish schools places of worship and community centers since the attacks and in Sarcelles that means soldiers guard school pick-ups and drop-offs “I try not to show my daughter that I’m afraid,” said Suedu Avner who hopes the conflict won’t last too long But a certain panic has taken hold in the community in the wake of the Hamas attacks in some cases spreading like wildfire on WhatsApp groups parents even pulled their children out of school France is home to the largest Jewish community outside Israel and the U.S. and one of the largest Muslim communities in Europe Safety concerns aren’t new to France’s Jewish community it has remained on alert amid a string of terror attacks on French soil by Islamists over the last decade Israel’s war against Hamas is now threatening the fragile peace in places like Sarcelles where thousands of Jews live alongside mostly Muslim neighbors of North African origin Authorities meanwhile are often torn by conflicting imperatives — between the Jews, who are fearful for their safety, and the Muslims, who feel an affinity for the Palestinian cause. During his visit to Israel and the Palestinian Territories, French President Emmanuel Macron himself struggled to strike a difficult balance between supporting Israel in its fight against Hamas and calling for the preservation of Palestinian lives His pizzeria was ransacked by rioters a couple of months ago when the fatal shooting of a teenager by a police officer in a Paris suburb caused unrest in poor housing estates across France a pro-Palestinian demonstration protesting Israel’s ground offensive against Gaza degenerated into an antisemitic riot against Jewish shops “All you need is a spark to set it off again,” said Timsit France’s Jews have seen an increase in antisemitic attacks since the early 2000s a reality that cuts deep into the national psyche given the memories of France’s collaboration with Nazi Germany in the Second World War “The fear of violence [in France] appeared with the Second Intifada,” said Marc Hecker a specialist on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with IFRI think tank with reference to the uprising against Israeli occupation in Palestinian Territories “Every time the situation in the Near East flares up there’s an increase in antisemitic offenses in France,” he added The threat of antisemitic attacks has led to increased security at Jewish schools and synagogues and has discouraged many French Jews from wearing their kippahs in some areas French Jews are also a prime target for Islamists as France battles a wave of terrorist attacks that have hit schools three children and a rabbi were shot dead at a Jewish school in Toulouse at point-blank range by Mohamed Merah a gunman who had claimed allegiance to al-Qaida four people were killed at a kosher supermarket near Paris Hecker warned that the scale of Hamas’s attack against Israel has “galvanized” Islamists across the board once again sparking deep fears among France’s Jews Many of Sarcelles’ Jews are Sephardic — that is of Spanish descent — and ended up in North Africa when Spain expelled its Jewish population in the Middle Ages Most came to France after having lived in the former French colonies of Algeria and Tunisia Sarcelles’ Muslim population therefore shares a cultural and linguistic history with its Jewish community and the two groups have lived together in relative harmony for decades stands under the twin gazes of Nelson Mandela and Marianne as he reflects on the thus-far peaceful coexistence among the local population “There’s been not a single antisemitic attack in Sarcelles since the attacks … It’s been over two weeks and we are holding things together,” he said Relations between the city’s Muslims and Jews are amicable and locals on the streets are proud of their friendship with people of a different religion a lot of the Jews are originally from Tunisia they even speak some Arabic,” said Naima a Muslim retiree who did not want to give her surname to protect her privacy my husband and my children respect the Jews but I know many who are angry with Israel,” said Naima who moved to France from Algeria as a young adult we don’t go around punching each other,” said Avner politics — and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict — is off-limits and communities live relatively separate lives with most Jewish pupils enrolled in religious schools Many Jews from Sarcelles have also chosen to emigrate to Israel in recent years secure sanctuary for Jews has been shattered after Hamas killed more than 1,400 Israelis in horrific attacks “Where are [Jews] going to go if they are not safe in Israel and they are anguished about what is happening in the ‘sanctuary state’ for Jews,” he said In a twist of the many tragic reversals of Jewish history several French families have returned from Israel since the Hamas attacks to find temporary shelter in the relative peace of Sarcelles EU executive is planning a two-track approach of incentives and retaliatory measures to convince the White House to strike a deal Paris accused

made real – all high-rises and social isolation Can new walking tours and a 300-mile track mend centuries of misunderstanding and distrust Sarcelles has come to represent everything wrong with Paris’s banlieues to such an extent that there’s even a word – Sarcellitis – to describe the ennui created by modernist high-rises The northern suburb represents a dystopian vision made real – especially for those who have never visited Taking a tour is the last thing on their minds Both the Sentier Métropolitain, a 300-mile track around Greater Paris set to be finalised by 2020, and the Voyage Métropolitain guided walks to show Parisians around the banlieues “Walked exploration makes encounters possible,” says Jens Denissen a German urbanist who set up the Voyage project with Léa Donguy as a way for people to discover Greater Paris on a human scale “We want to reduce the negative prejudice on the banlieues and show how rich lively and essential suburbs are for the whole city.” The Voyage Métropolitain shows Parisians the many sides of Greater ParisOn a cold Saturday morning I join 80 people in hiking gear for a Voyage starting at Sarcelles station who runs a restaurant selling lahmacun and other Turkish delicacies “It’s really good to see so many people down here in Sarcelles,” she says before pausing and pointing at her right eye as she adds Denissen agrees that many walkers on the Sarcelles trip are highly educated “People on our walks often already have an interest in the metropolitan scale of Paris,” he says so architects and urban planners want to come to see a place they wouldn’t visit on their own the next step is for us is to engage more directly with organisations Local activist Fatima Idhammou is one of the Voyage’s local contacts being successful means leaving the town to live somewhere else,” she says If you ask me what is my perfect city to live in but with all of Paris’s cultural amenities.” Paris – unlike London, New York or Berlin – is not officially a city under one metropolitan government. The City of Paris comprises 2.2 million inhabitants in an area of 105 sq km. The mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo has no jurisdiction over the 10 million inhabitants who live within the capital’s urban area – imagine Sadiq Khan in charge of the City of London only A deprived housing estate in Grigny, a suburb south of Paris, which was the scene of violent riots in 2005. Photograph: Ed Alcock/The GuardianIt was to fill this gap that Greater Paris was created from the city proper and its suburban ring in January 2016 But the technocratic exercise of adding an extra layer of government has fallen short of fixing many decades of bad feeling and misunderstanding between Parisians and the banlieusards The reciprocal distrust finds its roots in the late 19th century Napoleon III decreed that the City of Paris would swallow 11 neighbouring towns (including Montmartre The total absence of consultation with locals and elected officials was avenged by the local press whose cartoonists ferociously pictured Parisian greed The image of the central city devouring its suburbs remains vivid to this day While Baron Haussmann was busy giving the city its distinctive architecture and unified urban design the suburbs responded with a disparate mosaic of stories On another weekend I join a group of 28 to explore the leafy suburbs and semi-rural areas around Versailles Paris’s banlieues are not all like Sarcelles and the Voyage is all about walking through these diverse urban spaces The participants are from central Paris and the suburbs – a photographer The smaller crowd offers a more intimate feeling Read moreAs the group progresses through the tidy town of Buc we scatter among the market stalls selling cheese and locally grown strawberries and later pass a disused military base bearing the stigmata of second world war bombing The grand view of Versailles Palace reveals itself as we cross a patch of vacant land littered with cigarette butts and empty beer bottles The site will soon be transformed to host equestrian events in the 2024 Paris Olympics walking the city is like when you go to an exhibition of contemporary art and the person next to you is in awe about a piece but you don’t get what’s so fascinating,” says Thomas Davergne a physiotherapist from the 13th arrondissement of Paris These walks are like a window on the city.” Follow Guardian Cities on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to join the discussion, and explore our archive here one of the French postwar Grands Ensembles projects are losing vital cultural amenities to more affluent neighbours an arts centre that has been closed due to asbestos contamination Metal fencing surrounds this crumbling bunker It is nevertheless home to the poorest residents Many locals are alarmed by the gradual collapse of amenities in Sarcelles Some are old enough to have watched the Grand Ensemble being built; others grew up there which has come to symbolise their struggle Various local figures – such as Eric Aït Si-Ahmed alias DJ Desh – have pledged their support “They’re destroying a symbol of social encounter The leader of the council would rather fund specific projects for each community,” says Si-Ahmed Koskossi ran in the recent district council elections on a Miscellaneous Left (DG) ticket his main opponent being the incumbent Socialist (PS) François Pupponi He claims the whole of Grand Ensemble is being sidelined “Just over two-thirds of the town’s population live here and there is nothing left in the way of arts The only amenities that have survived are in the village,” the campaigner says Familiar image … Sarcelles is one of the biggest of the housing projects that ring Paris and other big French cities Photograph: Patrick Kovarik/GettyA stretch of brownfield sites and high-voltage power lines 3km wide separates the estate from the village which feels almost like a small country town Amid the detached houses the local council has refurbished a small auditorium The only bookshop in Sarcelles is here too but on closer inspection it turns out to be a newsagent’s its window cluttered with telephones and such who also heads the National Agency for Urban Renewal (Anru) acknowledges the lack of amenities in the town centre but is convinced that what is needed is large modern amenities to draw people from across the Val d’Oise département The next version of the Contrat de ville plan includes a new multi-screen cinema and a concert hall but both will be sited outside the Grand Ensemble “We spent a quarter of all our Anru subsidies rehabilitating the part of Lochères most in need of attention as well as the schools which were in a frightful state My ambition now is to create modern amenities which will change the image of the town,” Pupponi says dismissing any criticism as “just political opposition” But Koskossi and his allies are not the only ones condemning local council policy former head of the Sarcelles public library maintains that local cultural amenities have long been neglected you get the impression they’re deliberately running things down,” Bideau says a former PS leader of the Val d’Oise council is equally dismayed by the way the town centre has been neglected “Anru funding should have been used long ago to rejuvenate the cultural amenities which would in turn have boosted the town centre But for the past 10 years this doesn’t seem to have been a priority for the local council.” There is a consensus that the fate of the library is emblematic of the lack of a proper arts policy In May 2014 the town council closed it on the grounds of safety concerns: a glass roof was in danger of collapsing in the thick of the district council election campaign Koskossi voiced his concern about its future in a flyer A few weeks before the first round of the poll the library reopened Koskossi is convinced his campaign had some part in it to carry on the struggle with all the artists who have worked in the town over the years Pupponi has no intention of changing his plans The next Anru funding round includes a large venue and the Maison de la Gravure (a tribute to local engravers) in the village This article appeared in Guardian Weekly, which incorporates material from Le Monde Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker amid the brutalist tower blocks of Sarcelles Tucked under a rain-streaked concrete block across the road from the Grand Synagogue and a Hebrew bookshop diners at Chez Inoun tuck into grilled lamb over a glass of kosher merlot from Galilee This article appeared in the Europe section of the print edition under the headline “Dread and distress” Discover stories from this section and more in the list of contents George Simion will face Nicusor Dan, a mainstream candidate, in a run-off There are five luxuries it can no longer feasibly afford Friedrich Merz’s career is one of unforced errors and puzzling missteps. But he is serious about Europe Both Donald Trump and Ukraine’s diplomats will consider it a success BERLIN — Four weeks of fighting between Hamas militants and Israel fueled a rise in anti-Semitism outbursts across Europe ranging from violent attacks to chants of "Deaths to the Jews" at anti-Israel demonstrations In Germany and other European countries — especially France which has a large Jewish and Muslim population — Jews have been attacked on the street Jewish groups have received hate mail and anti-Semitic slogans have been spray-painted on buildings Three consecutive weekends of pro-Palestinian demonstrations turned into anti-Semitic attacks across France president of the Representative Council of French Jewish Institutions "This is the worst violence we have had in 15 years," he said "The Palestinian cause has created a new wave of anti-Semitism anti-Semitism has been on an individual level In Turkey — a mostly Muslim nation — Prime Minister Recep Erdogan has accused Israel of aggression similar to that of Adolf Hitler according to the Anti-Defamation League based in Washington which has documented several examples in the past two weeks: telling her son to "send her to Gaza for a few hours two men insulted Jews near a synagogue at night then returned in the early morning hours with iron bars breaking a glass door and a surveillance camera a man threatened to kill 30 Jews in the city if his family in Gaza was harmed anti-Semitic graffiti and fliers were found on stops and walls in the city's historic Jewish neighborhood occupants in a group of cars sho​uted and swore at Jewish pedestrians French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve officially banned pro-Palestinian protests threatened fines and shut down metro stations in areas where demonstrations were anticipated quickly turned volatile last month when protesters set cars aflame smashed the windows of Jewish shops and threw Molotov cocktails at two synagogues "The attacks against the synagogues of Sarcelles and Roquette were especially shocking," Cukierman said Muslims and Christians of the popular classes live there together it was an attack against the harmony that had been created between the different cultures." Anti-Semitic hate speech and attacks in Germany have left some Jews wondering whether they are welcome "The brutal attacks and shocking anti-Semitic incidents throughout Europe worry me a lot," said Dieter Graumann president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany I believe that Jewish life in Europe is meant to be we established a whole new Jewish future in Europe We cannot and will not allow anti-Semites to destroy what we are longing for." More than 104,000 people had registered themselves as part of the German Jewish community by 2010 according to the Federal Statistics Office special security is provided to Jewish businesses and institutions Jewish residents say it is necessary to be careful I'm often confronted with the attitude that's between intolerance and indifference," said Giulia Pines Kersthold a New Yorker who has lived in Berlin for six years If I were to be more obvious with my Jewishness (in Germany) I would be a lot more conscious of my actions Analysts say anti-Semitism has always festered beneath the surface in post-World War II Germany The wave of demonstrations and debate over Israel's ground offensive in the Gaza strip has allowed racism to rear its head once again "One can't say it is something new that has come from nothing," said Helgard Kramer a professor of sociology specializing in anti-Semitism at Berlin's Free University Europeans Jews say they will not be driven out of their homelands and no one will ever be able to intimidate us," Graumann said "The Jewish community here is surely strong enough to cope with these challenges to hold our heads up high and to speak out loud for our own interests — while showing our pride of being Jews in Europe."
