Tourcoing Centre: must-sees

Visit Tourcoing center

Saint Christophe Church

A stone's throw from the town hall, the church of Tourcoing is dedicated to Saint Christophe. It is located at the end of the Place de la République. It owes its current form to the architect Charles Leroy who directed the enlargement of the original building in the 19th century. This majestic red brick building, 60 meters long, has a bell tower 80 meters high. It houses a museum dedicated to bell art. From the top of the tower, you will have a panoramic view of the entire Lille metropolis.

MUba Eugène Leroy

The Tourcoing Museum, rue Paul Doumer, presents unique collections of classical, modern and contemporary art. It is open to the public all year round for free, guided or audio guided tours. Following an important donation, it exhibits more than 600 works by the Tourcoing painter Eugène Leroy. MUba also stands out for its desire to make genres and eras dialogue through a presentation of works from the permanent collection and loans from other public collections. Thus, it is not uncommon for Rembrandt to rub shoulders with Matt Mullican or Martin Barré!

Havré Hospice

The construction of the Tourcoing hospice dates back to the 13th century. It housed the orphans and destitute elderly people of the city until the end of the 20th century. As part of the events of Lille 2004 European Capital of Culture, the municipality transformed the building into a cultural venue. You can now admire exhibitions in the cloister and chapel and attend shows in the flowered gardens of the hospice. Perfect for a calm and relaxing break in the heart of the city. Free access during opening hours.

Bars, restaurants and shops of Tourcoing

Since 2018, the municipality has entrusted the revitalization of the city center to the organization La fabrique des quartiers. In order to strengthen the attractiveness of the area, ephemeral boutiques and animated shop windows have been installed in the uninhabited buildings of this perimeter. To go shopping, stroll through the streets of Lille, like rue Saint-Jacques in Vieux-Lille or go to the Grand-Place where there are many shops. Facing the Tourcoing center metro, the Saint-Christophe commercial area also offers a nice shopping area on several levels with parking.

Gastronomy side, Tourcoing is not left out. Want to taste the flamiche, cramique, Flemish carbonade or a fricadelle washed down with North beer?
