Take the Tramway to Art Deco Masterpieces

While the cobblestone streets of Old Lille hold immense charm, some of the region’s most jaw-dropping cultural gems lie just a short ride away along the historic tram line. Board the Mongy tramway toward Roubaix or Tourcoing to discover two world-class architectural destinations.

First, stop at Roubaix to visit La Piscine - Musée d'Art et d'Industrie, a stunning art museum housed inside a restored 1930s Art Deco swimming pool where sculptures surround the central basin. Next, head to Croix to explore Villa Cavrois, a modernist architectural masterpiece designed by Robert Mallet-Stevens. Purchasing a 24-hour Ilévia transit pass grants unlimited travel to both sites, saving you money and hassle.
