Mosquée El Moustafa is located at 27 rue Léonard Danel in Lille, in the district that extends the Vieux-Lille area towards Saint-Maurice-Pellevoisin. The venue welcomes worshippers for the five daily prayers and for the Friday prayer.
Getting there
Rue Léonard Danel is less than ten minutes on foot from Gambetta metro station (line 1) and fifteen minutes from Lille Flandres and Lille Europe railway stations. Several bus lines serve the area. By car, access is easy from the city's inner boulevards and street parking generally remains available during the day.
The neighbourhood
The area combines small brick townhouses, older apartment buildings and local shops. It lies midway between the historic centre and the northern edge of Lille. Halal shops, bakeries and multi-product grocers can be reached on foot around rue de Fives and boulevard Louis XIV.
Practical advice for a visit
The prayer hall is medium in size and it is best to arrive a little early for Friday prayer. Other times of the week are quieter. Shoes come off before entering the prayer hall and clothing should cover shoulders and legs. Women cover their hair. Quiet is expected as soon as you step inside.
