Lille, France

We arrived in Lille after an uneventful journey from the UK. Campsite is small but there is plenty of space between pitches. Weather was very hot for the journey so we had to sit and have a cold beer when we arrived.

On Friday we went to La Piscine (www.roubaix-lapiscine.com) an art and industrial museum that is now housed in a 1930s art deco swimming pool.



There was a special exhibition of fabrics and clothes by designer Elisabeth de Senneville. Most of the work was behind glass.


Part of the museum is in what was the Hannart Prouvost weaving mill. On display were fabric swatches and design books from this factory. I really liked the books and will have to do something based on them.
