What travelers say:

The Islamic Cultural Center is located on the Seine River. You can see this building by boat. It has a beautiful appearance. Two pictures were taken specially, but there was no chance to walk in. In 1980, French President Mitterrand proposed the construction of an Arab world cultural center on the left bank of the Seine River in Paris, crossing the barriers between Arab and Western cultures, so as to make the Western public understand and feel the value of this long-standing civilization. The theme itself has posed a challenge to the design of architectural space. Whether it is a glass curtain wall building in the prevailing internationalist style at that time, or a mosque completely returning to the tradition, it is obviously not the theme. In his youth, Jean Nouvelle, who was firmly determined by the "contextualism", stood out in the architectural design competition of the Arab World Cultural Center in 1981. His design scheme negated the rigid collage of post-modernism and was not the prevailing internationalism style at that time. Instead, he skillfully integrated the Arab cultural symbols into the architectural context and formed a profound tool both inside and outside the building. The space atmosphere of cultural appeal. It seems to be a very meaningful building.
