Paris is a diverse city with several religious communities represented among its population. While the majority of the population is nominally Roman Catholic, regular attendance at Mass is limited to a small percentage of residents.1

The city also hosts a significant Muslim community, which is an important presence evidenced by the existence of dozens of mosques, including the Grande Mosquée de Paris. Additionally, Paris is home to a notable Jewish community, which is historically centered in the Marais neighbourhood, particularly around the rue des Rosiers, where numerous synagogues and kosher establishments are located.12

Beyond these major groups, there are also various other religious and secular perspectives present in the city, including a segment of the population that professes no religious belief.2
