Mosquée Assalam is the main Muslim place of worship in Raismes, in Valenciennois. Run by the Cultural Association of Muslims of Raismes, it welcomes worshippers for the five daily prayers and for the Friday prayer.
Getting there
The mosque is located on rue Thiers, in central Raismes. The Valenciennes tramway serves the town and the Transvilles bus network completes the links to Valenciennes and its railway station. From the A23 motorway, the Raismes exit gives direct access to the town.
The neighbourhood
Raismes lies on the edge of the Scarpe-Escaut Regional Nature Park, with its town centre and mining housing estates inherited from the industrial past. Local shops, markets, halal butchers and grocers are accessible in the centre of Raismes and in the nearby centre of Valenciennes. The Raismes-Saint-Amand-Wallers state forest borders the town.
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.
