   • La Piscine Museum. The city’s museum opened in 2000 and is nothing short of spectacular. For starters the venue is a converted 1930s Art Deco swimming pool: The pool chamber, its galleries, tiled walls and fabulous stained window form the main exhibition hall, while a former textile factory next door provides further exhibition space.
   • La Manufacture. It’s only right that you should pull on the cloth-making thread while you’re in Roubaix. The city has maintained its textile heritage at La Manufacture, a museum in the former Craye factory.
   • Villa Cavroix. You can see where a big chunk of the textile wealth was spent at this astonishing modernist house in Croix. Villa Cavroix was built for Paul Cavrois, a textile industrialist and designed by the illustrious Robert Mallet-Stevens.
   • Parc Barbieux. Found just to the south of the centre, Roubaix’ main park has an interesting origin story: The water channel that meanders through the centre of the park is the vestige on abortive attempt to link the centre of Roubaix with the Marque River.
