Cimetière musulman de Bobigny
This listed historical monument is a Muslim-only burial ground. It is one of only two Muslim cemeteries in France. It was created by the French government in 1937 on the site adjacent to the Franco-Muslim Hospital of Bobigny and holds about 7,000 plots, for mainly North African people.
This sixty-meter-high tower was built in 1933 by the newspaper l'Illustration. Rehabilitated in 2009 by architects Robin Giraud and Jean Filhol (Sepra), the tower houses the international student residence of the CROUS in Créteil, comprising 57 rooms for students and researchers.
