Mosquée Errahma is the main Muslim place of worship in Méricourt, in the Lens basin. It welcomes worshippers for the five daily prayers and for the Friday prayer.
Getting there
The mosque is located on rue du Chemin de Fer, a few minutes from the centre of Méricourt. The Tadao bus network serves the town and Lens station, less than ten minutes away by car, provides access to TER Hauts-de-France trains. The A21 motorway is reached through the Méricourt exit.
The neighbourhood
The area still bears the traces of the town's mining past, with its miners' cottages and working-class housing fabric. Local shops, markets, halal butchers and grocers are accessible in the centre of Méricourt and in the nearby centres of Avion and Sallaumines. The landscape still carries the memory of the basin.
Practical advice for a visit
The hall serves a local community and the atmosphere is family-oriented. A first visit is easier outside Friday noon and outside Ramadan Tarawih night prayers. Shoes come off before entering the prayer hall, clothing should cover shoulders and legs, and women cover their hair. Quiet is expected as soon as you step inside.
Other mosques in Méricourt and nearby
The Lens basin has several other prayer venues a few minutes away. Mosquée Al Fath and Mosquée Badr in Avion, Mosquée Bilal in Sallaumines, Mosquée En-Nour in Harnes, Mosquée Abou Bakr in Lens and Mosquée Omar in Liévin are among the other accessible options.
