The Badr Eddine Mosque is a well-known place of prayer in Lyon's 8th arrondissement. Its name evokes the full moon of the Battle of Badr, a founding episode in Muslim history, and reflects the spiritual heritage that Lyon's community maintains with the great figures of Islam.
A mosque of the 8th arrondissement
The Badr Eddine Mosque welcomes worshippers for the five daily prayers and Friday prayer. It takes on particular significance during the month of Ramadan, with the nightly Tarawih prayers and shared iftar meals, as well as during the celebrations of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. It is part of a dense network of associations that keep everyday Muslim life alive in the south-eastern part of the city, alongside other places of worship such as Es-Salem, Ahl Al Hadith and El-Houda.
Lyon's 8th arrondissement
The 8th arrondissement is home to more than 85,000 residents, making it one of Lyon's most populous. It brings together neighbourhoods with strong identities: Monplaisir, Bachut, Mermoz, Laënnec, États-Unis and La Plaine-Santy. Local life is carried by a steady commercial fabric, lively markets and long-standing community groups. The area also hosts notable cultural venues such as Les Halles du Faubourg, the Tony Garnier museum dedicated to the housing estate that bears his name, and the French Institute of Muslim Civilisation, which has become one of Lyon's symbols of intercultural dialogue.
Getting there
The Badr Eddine Mosque is well served by public transport. Tram Line T2, running from Perrache to Saint-Priest, and Line T6 provide access to the main arteries of the 8th arrondissement. Several bus lines complete the network, with regular services toward Part-Dieu, Bellecour and Vénissieux. From central Lyon, the journey by public transport takes about twenty to twenty-five minutes. Street parking is available in the surrounding streets, but finding a spot can become difficult during major prayer times.
Advice for visitors
Appropriate dress is expected, and shoes are removed before entering the prayer hall. Arriving early is recommended for Friday prayer and religious holidays, which draw large crowds. A short welcome or exchange with the mosque's officials is often possible for passing visitors, while respecting the prayer schedule.
