The Grand Mosque of Paris opened on 15 July 1926 in honour of the Muslims who died for France in the First World War. It is built in Hispano-Moorish style with a 33-metre minaret inspired by that of the Zitouna Mosque in Tunis, around a large arcaded courtyard, Andalusian gardens, zellige tilework and carved wood.

Friday prayers are held here, and visitors are welcome outside prayer times. Its public wing has a restaurant and a tea room serving mint tea and North African pastries, next to the Jardin des Plantes in the Latin Quarter.
