Tourcoing in three films: streets, hospice and textile innovation

Three distinct views of Tourcoing connect its urban fabric, the Hospice d’Havré and the changing textile economy.

This 4K walking film offers a visual introduction to Tourcoing’s streets and city scale. It is useful before a visit for noticing the relationship between the centre and the surrounding urban fabric; it is not a narrated historical tour, so pair it with local heritage information.

The first chapter of a history of the Hospice d’Havré focuses on the site itself. Its subject is a specific institution rather than the whole city, making it a useful complement to a walk through the centre and the hospice garden. The video is an older historical feature; check the venue’s current visitor information separately.

BFM Grand Lille reports on the opening of the European Centre for Innovative Textiles in Tourcoing. The film connects the city’s textile tradition with research and newer materials, but records the centre at an earlier moment. It offers industrial context, not current opening details or a guarantee of public access.
