Tourcoing
Nord · France
This city on France's Belgian border, Tourcoing sits within the vast Lille metropolitan area and shares in the cross-border Lille–Kortrijk–Tournai cooperation zone — one of Europe's first such territorial groupings. The city grew substantially through the textile industry during the 19th-century industrial revolution, a history still visible in its architecture. The walkable centre has a real café and restaurant scene, and the wider region is ringed by UNESCO World Heritage sites.
