The Originals Access Hôtel Moustache

No need for a swimsuit or cap to visit this Roubaix institution. While the building has retained its original architecture (1932), the pre-war mermaids have given way to marble and bronze mermaids who admire their reflection in the pool. Drawing, design, textiles, ceramics, paintings... In this grand pool of art, you'll find works by Picasso, Camille Claudel, Fernand Léger, Mondrian, Chagall, Gauguin, and more.

With its cobbled streets, brick houses, and Flemish facades, Old Lille is full of charm. Don’t miss the picturesque Place aux Oignons and the very unique Notre-Dame de la Treille Cathedral, whose construction was completed in 1999. With your head held high, take the time to get lost in the maze of narrow streets and admire the architectural beauty before settling down at one of the many restaurants or bars that give this bustling neighborhood its lively atmosphere.

The iconic square of Lille is dominated by the Column of the Goddess, commemorating the siege of Lille by the Austrians (1792). A lively place where the city's history is written in every stone: the legendary Voix du Nord with its Flemish facade, the Théâtre du Nord with its classical style, and not to mention the flamboyant building of the Old Stock Exchange with its 24 identical residences, built around a small courtyard with arcades. Today, this area is filled with booksellers, chess players, and tango dancers in the summer. 

Put on your helmets and dive into the history of the "black faces." Opened in the 1980s, the Mining Historical Center is located in the heart of the mining basin, in Lewarde. Covering 8,000 m² of industrial buildings on an 8-hectare site, it takes you through three centuries of coal mining in the North and Pas-de-Calais. It’s an extraordinary human and industrial adventure.
