Guided tour: Lille in 1913, between Bourse, 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.
