Presentation
We've come to know it as a hip, quirky and festive place to live!
This former convent of the Visitation order, located in the old Hommelet district of Roubaix, has become an atypical venue designed around a multi-faceted cultural programme.
Today we'll be looking at the origins of this sacred monument: the history of the convent, the memory of the nuns who lived there, not forgetting the discovery of its exceptional chapel.
