The mosque of Paris

After Easter vacation, we went to the mosque of Paris. This Mosque, the first in France, was built after the First World War on land donated by the city of Paris. The government wanted to thank the Moslems of Africa for having taken part in the war on the side of the Allies. It is comprised of a prayer room, a library, and a conference room.
