Podcast Tour Lille The Echoes of Iron and Art

Discover how Lille turned its industrial ruins into spaces for art and urban culture. Once the 'Manchester of France', the city was shaped by textile mills, coal and freight. When industry collapsed, it left behind vast brick buildings and shattered communities.
