Epok Tour: Lille in 1913, between stock exchange, textiles and coal

  • Visite - Balade

Dive into 1913, at the end of the Belle Époque in Lille, during an immersive tour guided by Jean-Baptiste Charles de Joguet, a young bourgeois from the nobility.
Stroll through the Vieille Bourse district, before venturing into the prosperous neighborhoods that testify to the wealth of the local bourgeoisie.
Let yourself be transported into an era of transformation where Lille is reinventing itself, entering a new golden industrial and urban age.
You will also understand the central role of coal and textile industry in the transformation of Lille, a city in full mutation where factory chimneys and spinning workshops symbolize industrial development.
Jean-Baptiste will share with you the excitement of the Belle Époque, while revealing the secrets of a city in full mutation. An ideal immersion to rediscover Lille under the prism of its rich past.
On the occasion of the European Heritage Days, enjoy this unique experience at special rates specially designed to make heritage accessible to all:
9 € for adults, 5 € at a reduced rate (students under 25 years old, job seekers, young people from 6 to 17 years old), and free for those under 6 years old.
A great opportunity to (re)discover Lille with family or friends, the time of a walk in history.
