Religions
France is traditionally a Roman Catholic country and while
most of the churches of France are Catholic, you won't find
them very busy on Sunday mornings. Over half of France
professes to be Catholic, but less than 15 per cent go to
church. About 10 per cent of the population (6 million)
are of Muslim descent and they now make up the second
largest religious group. Protestants number about 2 per cent,
(1.2 million), and another 1 per cent are Jews, the largest
population of Jews left in Europe.
We have listed the major religious cultural centres in Paris
