Prayer Times in Villeurbanne, France
Prayer times in Villeurbanne are worked out each day from the city's coordinates (45.77°N). We use the Muslim World League method, the one followed across France. The five times shift by a minute or two each day as the sun moves. The full month is listed below.
Villeurbanne's times use the Muslim World League method. That is the standard followed by most mosques in France. They are drawn from Villeurbanne's own coordinates (45.7660°N, 4.8795°E). The schedule updates automatically at midnight, with no manual setting.
How Villeurbanne's prayer times are worked out
From Villeurbanne, the Qibla is 119° from true north. Face southeast to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,163 km (2,587 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Villeurbanne's own coordinates (45.77°N, 4.88°E), not a national average. That is why Villeurbanne's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.
One local quirk shapes the Villeurbanne timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Villeurbanne lies well west inside its Paris time zone. So the sun peaks about 49 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 1:39 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 18h 24m near June down to 10h 29m in December.
The Fajr and Isha angles for Villeurbanne come from the Muslim World League. The Muslim World League method sets Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha at 17°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. We also publish times for nearby Lyon 03, Lyon 06 and Lyon. Each is only a few minutes off Villeurbanne's clock.

Who sets prayer times in France
France is a laïque state. It has no official timetable and no national religious authority, so prayer times are set mosque by mosque. In practice two references dominate. The Grande Mosquée de Paris publishes its own timetables. Musulmans de France (formerly the UOIF) publishes a widely adopted calendar that uses 12° for both Fajr and Isha. Those angles are noticeably shallower than the Muslim World League's, which is why French timetables can differ from those of neighbouring countries. The Forum de l'islam de France was launched by the Interior Ministry in 2022 to replace the CFCM. It is a body for dialogue with the state, not an authority that issues prayer times.
The Grande Mosquée de Paris
France's Muslim population is largely of Maghrebi origin, and therefore predominantly Maliki. That is why mainstream French timetables use the standard first-shadow Asr. Mosques serving Turkish and South Asian communities follow the later Hanafi time instead. The Grande Mosquée de Paris was inaugurated in 1926. It was built as France's tribute to the roughly 100,000 Muslim colonial soldiers who died fighting for France in the First World War. During the Second World War its rector, Si Kaddour Benghabrit, is credited with sheltering Jews from the Gestapo. The Grande Mosquée de Lyon followed in 1994 and Strasbourg's in 2012.
