Tourcoing

Tourcoing stands at the northern edge of France in the Nord department, forming part of a continuous urban area with Lille and Roubaix municipalities.

The textile manufacturing heritage of Tourcoing dates from the 19th century, when numerous wool factories transformed this settlement into an industrial center.

The Church of St Christopher, with its 80-meter bell tower containing more than 80 bells, represents the architectural legacy of the 15th century.

The central railway station connects travelers directly to Paris, Lille, and multiple Belgian cities including Kortrijk, Ostend, Ghent, and Antwerp.

The Battle of Tourcoing in 1794 saw French forces under Marshal Charles Pichegru defeat British and Austrian troops during the French Revolutionary Wars.
