Villa Cavrois

An architectural manifesto, Villa Cavrois, the work of architect Robert Mallet-Stevens, a figure of the modernist school, was designed and built in Croix between 1929 and 1932 for Paul Cavrois, a textile industrialist from the Nord department, and his family. Listed as a historical monument in 1990 thanks to citizen mobilisation, and acquired by the State in 2001, the huge restoration project implemented in 2003 by the DRAC Nord-Pas-de Calais and then taken over by the Centre des Monuments Nationaux in 2008 will be completed in 2015.

What an amazing building and a must for art deco and architecture fans. There's a good film showing down in the basement as well showing the meticulous restoration process. Getting there was very easy too, a short hop on the tram and a ten minute walk. Easy to combine with a trip to La Piscine Museum in Roubaix as well.

Le Beffroi de Saint-Eloi

Reviewed By PaulieG74 - Ghent, Belgium

The Cathedral still bares wounds of war, with it's bullet hole ridden front wall. Inside, a typical cathedral experience you can expect with any European Cathedral.

Vieux-Lille

Reviewed By sheffieldeats - Sheffield, United Kingdom

Lovely long weekend destination. Great architecture - look for square beyond Place de Lion ( Place de Louise Bernieries?) for interesting Flemish style frontages. Feels safe, relaxed easy going city, with plenty of restaurants through the old town. Do book in advance though or risk walking from one to another looking for a table at weekends.
