The halls with exceptional dimensions preserve the memory of the old workshops of steel production; today, the activities are quite different! Some of the actors of this transformation propose a tour of 1h30, on Saturday 17 September only, to discover the metamorphosis of Fives Cail.
(Saturday at 1pm, 2pm, 3pm, 4pm and 5pm).
Go under the Passage de l'Internationale, facing the Lycée Hôtelier (access via Vaucanson street).
Several stopovers are on the program:
- Friendly welcome in the Passage de l'Internationale, with Mémoires du Travail and Elodie Wysocki, visual artist.
A ceramist, Elodie is passionate about the history of the site and offers an amazing and friendly creation, conceived as a link between the industrial history of the markets and their activities today: a surprise to see and taste!
- Discovery tour of the Ecoquartier of Fives Cail, with the teams of the Société d'aménagement Soreli in charge of the renovation of the site.
The transformation of the old factory and its monumental halls into a place of life and activity continues. The teams of the SORELI developer present to you the achievements and the next stage of development of this ambitious project in terms of sustainable renewal of the city.
- Stop at the Cuisine Commune of Chaud Bouillon! with the CCAS of the City of Lille and the Association Les Sens du Goût
Hot Bouillon is a true ecosystem of taste that unfolds in Fives Cail. A stopover will be offered in the Halle Gourmande to discover the activities of the Cuisine Commune.
- Workshop and discovery of the urban farm of Chaud Bouillon, with the association Lilotopia and JUNIA, engineering school
To finish the route in style, Lilotopia invites you to visit on the site the urban greenhouse, a space for innovation and awareness of urban agriculture, which it operates alongside JUNIA. Aboveground cultivation in aero-hydro and aqua-ponies: barbaric words? Rather solutions of the future for agriculture in the city, which will make sense when you have contributed yourself, with your own herb plant, to a low-tech system of "window farm": without land, using 90% less water compared to growing in the fields.
You will definitely want to start at home!
