 Old factory by filipdebont
In the past, Roubaix was one of the most important industrial cities of textile in the North. And this textile industry resulted in hundreds of factories.
Like this cotton spinning mill which is build as it was a castle with two towers and a lift bridge.
Around 1960 a lot of these factories closed, and luckily, they restored some of the old factory buildings.
Like this building which is now used by Euroteleport, an important international telecommunication centre and as Centre des Archives du Monde de travail (centre for Labour Archives). Leave a Comment Address: Boulevard du Generale-Leclerc 78

 Eglise St Martin by filipdebont
The first church dates from the 10th century, but as the city did grow, so did this church. The only old part that remained is the bell tower which dated from 1511.
So this eglise St Martin got its final Neo-Gothic look in the middle of the 19th century. Leave a Comment Address: Grande Place

 Velodrome de Roubaix by filipdebont
That was kind of a unique experience.
But after all that was not so easy, especially because these bends are much steeper then I thought, also you need a high speed to stay at your same level, if not you are back on the lower blue strip in no time. Leave a Comment Address: Velodrome, Parc des Sports
