Guided tour and calligraphy workshop The Mosque, a space of spirituality and instruction, is also a place of life and culture, a source of fruitful interlacing. Inaugurated in July 1981, the Great Mosque of Mantes is characterized by a sober Moorish style, the result of the collaboration of two architects, one French and the other Moroccan. It is one of the first buildings in France built, dedicated to Muslim worship.
A commented visit of the building, extended by an exchange around a mint tea and Maghrebian pastries.
Come and discover the mosaics from the Briare manufacture in the Loiret, a reference in industrial art, laid by a master craftsman specially from Morocco. You will cross the nave to reach the height of the mihrab, niche oriented towards Mecca, and the minbar, carved wooden pulpit used during the Friday prayer.
A calligrapher, present among us, will draw your first name in Arabic letters. You will thus keep a memory of your visit to the Great Mosque of Mantes.
