La Grande Mosquée de Paris #2
In June 2008 it was possible to visit the Mosque and so I did. Once entered, I completely forgot that I was in Paris... I loved especially the beautiful courtyard. There should also be a café, but it was closed when I was there.

La Grande Mosquée de Paris #1
The Great Mosque of Paris is the largest in France and the third largest in Europe. It was founded after World War I as a sign of France´s gratefulness to the colonies´ Muslim tirailleurs, 100.000 of whom died fighting against Germany and inaugurated in July 1926. The Mosque was built following the "mudéjar" style with a minaret of 33m height. Click here for the official website of the Mosque (it´s only in French).
