The Muslim Cultural Centre of Boulogne, known locally as L'Olivier, is a Muslim place of worship located in Boulogne-Billancourt. It is the main landmark for the Muslim community of the town and of the western Hauts-de-Seine.
A mosque of Boulogne-Billancourt
The L'Olivier Centre welcomes worshippers for the five daily prayers and Friday prayer. It takes on particular importance during the month of Ramadan, with the nightly Tarawih prayers and iftar gatherings, as well as during the celebrations of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.
Boulogne-Billancourt and its Muslim community
Boulogne-Billancourt is a Hauts-de-Seine commune of around one hundred and twenty-one thousand inhabitants, immediately west of Paris. The local Muslim community is present but discreet, with North African, West African and Turkish roots. Several other associative rooms exist in the neighbouring communes of Issy-les-Moulineaux, Sèvres and Meudon.
Access and transport
Metro lines 9 and 10 serve the town, with the Marcel Sembat, Billancourt and Boulogne-Jean-Jaurès stations. Tramway T2, between Pont-de-Bezons and Porte de Versailles, passes nearby. By car, the Sèvres and Saint-Cloud bridges connect Boulogne to Paris and to the western suburbs. A dense urban bus network completes coverage.
Advice for visitors
As in any place of worship, appropriate dress is expected, and shoes must be removed before entering the prayer hall. Friday prayer and major religious holidays attract large crowds; arriving early is recommended.
