About this activity
Dive into Lille in 1913, during the Belle Époque, on an immersive visit of Old Lille.
Accompanied by Jean-Baptiste Charles de Joguet, a young 33-year-old Lille bourgeois, discover the city through the eyes of a resident of the time. From the Old Stock Exchange to the elegant bourgeois neighborhoods, explore a city in full transformation living in its second golden age, driven by the rise of textiles and coal.
Your tour guide, in a suit and in character, will let you relive the life, traditions, and great transformations of Lille on the eve of the First World War.
