The Friendly League of Cultures and Scientific Research runs its prayer room at 22 bis Rue Gabrielle Josserand, in the Quatre-Chemins district of Pantin. The associative name covers a Muslim prayer hall and educational and cultural activity aimed at neighbourhood families. The place is unassuming from the street but well known to regular worshippers.
Getting there
Aubervilliers-Pantin Quatre Chemins station (line 7) is five minutes away on foot. Hoche (line 5) is fifteen minutes away. RER E stops at Pantin station, fifteen minutes on foot via Rue Cartier-Bresson. Buses 61, 249 and 330 serve Rue Josserand. On Vélib', several docking stations line the Ourcq canal five minutes away.
The neighbourhood
Rue Gabrielle Josserand crosses Quatre-Chemins east to west, two steps from the branch town hall and the neighbourhood market. Old suburban fabric mixes with buildings refurbished in the 2000s. Halal shops, Maghrebi and South Asian grocers, Turkish-style bakeries and small restaurants are all within walking distance. The Ourcq canal, to the north, offers a continuous walkway to La Villette.
Practical advice for a visit
The place serves its worshippers and its associative activities first. A first visit is easier outside Friday noon and outside Ramadan Tarawih night prayers. Shoes come off before entering, women cover their hair, and clothes should cover shoulders and legs. Quiet is expected as soon as you step inside.
