Are there any Buddhist monastery in Paris?

Why would you want to see a Buddhist monastery?
Buddhism Sucks!

The Melbourne Linh Son Buddhist Temple is situated in Radford Road, Reservoir, in the midst of an industrial build-up. The Temple is situated on a property that used to be the local primary school (the secondary college is still functioning next door), which was purchased during the school closures of the Kennett era of Liberal Government. It is six acres in total, with the original building still remaining to the left of the Temple. The Temple itself is a large structure with shrine rooms, a spacious kitchen and many rooms for accommodation and various other activities. However, it is while appreciating the grounds themselves that one begins to realise that this is a truly Buddhist structure.

There is another monastery but not in Paris.
Nalanda Monastery - located close to Lavaur, about 40 km from Toulouse in the Tarn district of Southwest France.

I don't know about Paris, but I do know that France has about 140 Buddhist communities. Most of them are Tibetans.

Paris is a city for any religion, so nobody will discrimate you if you practice Buddism, so you can make it openly or maybe create your own circle of persons.
