Ready to party? In 2001, the museums La Piscine and La Manufacture as well as Roubaix City of art and history were born in Roubaix. Then began three cultural adventures that have been intertwined for 25 years now in the same city with a recognized and reconverted heritage.
Whether in the Art Deco setting of La Piscine or the intimate atmosphere of La Manufacture, dance, concerts and banquets await you on 23, 24 and 25 October for an exceptional festive weekend in collaboration with the region’s most creative talents and partners!
