Presentation
With its medieval fortress-like appearance, the Motte-Bossut factory, built in 1903, was long a major centre of textile production.
In 1984, it began a new life under the name L'Usine, a pioneer among factory outlet centres in France. A guided tour offers visitors the chance to rediscover this place, which combines working-class history with economic redevelopment.
