Roubaix: from textile mills to a museum city

Three reports follow Roubaix’s textile legacy through La Piscine and industrial heritage.

France tv culture follows the conversion of Roubaix’s municipal swimming pool into La Piscine, its art and industry museum. The focus is both historical and artistic, with the building’s reuse central to the feature. Check the museum for current exhibitions and access.

Suivez le guide presents Roubaix through its industrial heritage. It gives a city-wide frame for mills and converted factories rather than a single museum visit. Use it to identify the heritage theme, then consult local visitor information for routes and opening details.

This regional feature introduces La Piscine, the André Diligent Museum of Art and Industry. It complements the first clip by presenting the museum as a cultural landmark. Current gallery access and schedules should be confirmed directly with the museum. The clip is best used to place the museum within Roubaix’s industrial story, then to explore the collections directly.
