Grande Mosquée de Paris

Paris’ central mosque, with a striking 33m-high minaret, was completed in 1926 in an ornate art deco North African style. You can visit the interior to admire the intricate tile work and calligraphy. A separate entrance leads to the wonderful hammam, restaurant and tearoom (enjoying a mint tea there is a must), and a small gift shop. Visitors must be modestly dressed.
