The Tivaouane delegation present in Paris as part of the Journées Serigne Babacar Sy organized by the Dahira SOP NABY France was received by the rector of the Grand Mosque of Paris Chems-eddine Hafiz.

In 1922, Cheikh Seyidil El Hadji Malick Sy took part in the laying of the foundation stone of the Grande Mosquée de Paris, sending El Hadj Abdoul Hamid Kane as his representative.

102 years later, the mosque's directors pay him a historic tribute.
