Where the concierge points people first

Grande Mosquée de Paris — Built in the 1920s in the 5th, beside the Jardin des Plantes, with a green-tiled minaret and courtyard gardens in a Hispano-Moorish style. It is the one mosque in the city with regular visiting hours and a ticket for non-Muslim visitors. (48.8422, 2.3552) · Directions ↗
Hammam de la Grande Mosquée de Paris — The steam baths within the same complex, next to the tearoom where mint tea and pastries are served in the courtyard. Check which days are for women and which for men before you go. (48.8417, 2.3557) · Directions ↗
Mosquée Adda'wa - Paris — A large working mosque in the 19th, near Stalingrad, serving a busy local congregation. Come for prayer, not for a look round, and ask at the door if you are unsure. (48.8874, 2.3699) · Directions ↗

The rest of the mosques in Paris — every one we hold

Only one Paris mosque is set up for sightseers

The Grande Mosquée de Paris is the place to visit as a non-Muslim; nearly every other row here is a working prayer hall with no visitor program, several of them in the northern and eastern suburbs. At the Grande Mosquée, tourist visits pause during prayer times, on Fridays and on religious holidays, so avoid Friday midday entirely. Cover shoulders and knees; women will want a scarf to hand for the prayer hall. Shoes come off before any carpeted prayer space. Several rows in this set, such as Paris Büyük Camii and La Mosquée de Paris, are other names for the same Grande Mosquée.

Visiting: what to know before you go

Opening hours

The Grande Mosquée opens to visitors every day from 9:00 to 18:00 except Fridays and Muslim holidays, for a small entry fee; guided visits are also offered (offi.fr). The prayer hall closes to visitors at prayer times.

Getting there

Métro Place Monge (line 7) is the closest stop; the Jardin des Plantes and the Muséum are across the street, so the two fit into one morning.

Tea room, restaurant and hammam

The mosque also runs a tea room, a restaurant and a hammam, which keep their own hours (Paris je t'aime).
