The Great Mosque of Paris located in the 5th arrondissement is the largest mosque in France and the second largest in Europe. It was founded after World War I as a sign of France's gratefulness to its Muslim tirailleurs from its colonies who had fought against Germany. The Mosque inaugurated in 1926 was built following the mudéjar style of Al-Andalus.
BTW, it's a mosque without loudspeakers. No adzan calls and people still go there for praying. May this lesson be learnt in other places as well.
الحمد لله
