Mosquée de Valenciennes is the main Muslim place of worship in central Valenciennes. It welcomes worshippers for the five daily prayers and for the Friday prayer, with a marked attendance at midday.
Getting there
The mosque is located on rue François Colliez, a few minutes on foot from Valenciennes railway station served by TER Hauts-de-France trains and by the TGV. The Valenciennes tramway and the Transvilles bus network round out access to the centre. From the A2 motorway, the Valenciennes-centre exit gives direct access.
The neighbourhood
The centre of Valenciennes combines historic heritage and recent renewal, with the place d'Armes, the town hall and the fine arts museum nearby. Halal shops, butchers and grocers are spread around the centre and the Saint-Waast area, with regular weekly markets. The tramway easily connects Anzin, Denain and southern Valenciennois.
Practical advice for a visit
The prayer hall is spacious and well attended during peak times. 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.
