Constructed between 1922 and 1926, the Mosquée de Paris is located in the Latin Quarter, a stone’s throw from Paris’s natural history museum. The Hispano-Moresque building is dominated by a 33-metre-high minaret. It has a patio surrounded by sculpted arcades, as in the Alhambra in Granada. The prayer room is a must-see for its intricate decoration and superb carpets. The Mosquée de Paris is also a place for rest and relaxation, with its hammam, restaurant, tearoom and shop reminiscent of a souk.
