France's Charles de Gaulle airport is trying to set set an example of religious harmony. It now houses meditation rooms where Muslims, Christians and Jews can pray. An imam, a rabbi and a deacon all work together on site. They say they want to find a common path.

Moise Lewin, Rabbi working at Charles de Gaulle Airport prayer room: "We have three places of worship, but a common office. That means we work together, we have different beliefs, different approaches to religion, but we are here to work together for the good of the passengers."

The multi-fath prayer rooms come at a time when France is grappling with increased religious tensions. A deadly attack on a Jewish supermarket in Paris last January has reignited fears of anti-Semitism. Shootings and suicide bombings claimed by ISIL killed 130 people in the French capital in November. The country is still in a state of emergency.

Hazem el Shafei, imam working at Charles de Gaulle Airport prayer room: "2015 was, for certain people, a negative year. I think that we are unfair -- yeah there are two or three or four examples that are very negative, at the beginning of the year and the end of the year and during the year -- but we always try to transform the negative to positive. It's very important."

At any given time, passengers entering the airport chaplaincy can find a representative of any of the three major religions.They provide information ranging from spiritual guidance to flight information.
