Just NE of Lille close to the Belgian border, Tourcoing sets the standard for the region of Nord Pas de Calais with its Theatre du Nord, the Tourcoing Municipal Theatre under the direction of Jean-Claude Malgoire, its Jazz Festival, its town fair (the Franche Foire ) and other events. Taking its strength from a young population, a dynamic economy and a healthy community spirit, Tourcoing is also an important artistic and cultural center. Explore the Museum of Fine Arts which is unique in the region, presenting an ambitious blend of the art of today and yesterday, or Le Fresnoy, the National Studio of Contemporary Arts, which was awarded the American National Grand Prix for Architecture and which presents exhibitions of international scope and quality.
