The Montmartre Synagogue (French: Synagogue de la rue Sainte-Isaure) is situated on the Rue Sainte-Isaure, in the 18th arrondissement of Paris.

Since 1904 a small Jewish temple has been functioning at this location. In 1907, baron Edmond de Rothschild contributed to its expansion.

During the Second World War, in 1941 the synagogue was damaged by far-right French collaborators.[1] · [2] · .[3]
