A secret place for reflection and sweet treats! on the Left Bank



“My friend, let’s not think of tomorrow, but let’s enjoy this fleeting moment of life” – Omar Khayyam

The traditional architecture and romantic courtyard of the famous Paris Mosque make this the perfect spot to relax with a hot drink after an afternoon promenade in the nearby Natural History Museum or Jardin des Plantes. Enjoy sweet mint tea and flaky pastries laced with honey in an authentic Moorish-style cafe on the grounds of this famous Paris mosque.
You may just want to spend the whole evening here, enjoying couscous (vegetarian, chicken, or merguez sausage) while the sun goes down.
