Roubaix

Roubaix is a city in the suburbs of Lille about 30 minutes by metro from the Lille city center. It’s most famous for it’s art museum, La Piscine, but it was a fun (less touristy) place to explore on a Sunday.

Roubaix City Hall
Eglise Saint-Martin
We found a really cute brunch place that was full of locals! I got the avocado toast
La Piscine (the swimming pool)
This is a former swimming pool they’ve repurposed into an art museum.
Behind the statues you can kind of see the blue tiles (it’s hard to tell in the picture), which is where the pool originally ended (the little reflecting pool today is only like 6″ deep).
Garden of la Piscine

We decided to walk to a different metro station to get back to city center in an attempt to see more of the town.

Random cat statue (with blue paw prints leading up to it)
Monument to 2 winners of la Legion d’Honneur-the highest French honor someone can receive. These people were both from Roubaix.
Some random street art
Train station

On the way back to my apartment I finally stopped at Aux Merveilleux de Fred, which is a pastry shop. They created a pastry in Lille that is now sold at their shops throughout France called Le Merveilleux (the Marvelous), which is a combination of meringue and whipped cream that was so light and fluffy (and marvelous!). This might be my new favorite French dessert!

It comes in an adorable little box.
I got la classique (the original, which is chocolate).
This is what the center looks like-it was hard to tell what was what, but I think it was meringue on the bottom and whipped cream on top and then the chocolate shavings were all around the outside. No matter what it was, it was amazing (and not nearly as heavy or rich as it appears!).
