Paris User’s Guide

On a beautiful summer’s day, the Mosquée de Paris gives one a strong impression of total exile. Situated near the Latin Quarter, this vibrant site is open to the public in exchange for a modest entry fee. Built between 1922 to 1926 under the direction of French architects Heubès, Fournez and Mantout, the majority of the material was imported then assembled on the premises by 450 Maghreb artisans.

The mosque is divided into several distinct sectors - religious (prayer room reserved for the faithful); scholarly (Islamic Institute of Study and library); and, amateurs (via rue Geoffroy-St-Hilaire, the domed Haman, Turkish baths, and the serene Moorish tearoom).
