Let yourself be transported to a time of transformation when Lille was reinventing itself, entering a new industrial and urban golden age.
You'll also learn about the central role played by coal and the textile industry in the transformation of Lille, a city in the throes of change where factory chimneys and spinning mills symbolise the industrial boom.
