Roubaix has a history and a heritage that deserve to be discovered. This history has been written and rewritten especially since the city obtained the label of "City of Art and History" in 2001. In the city, heritage is not only made up of old stones; it is also part of the everyday life of the inhabitants of Roubaix. With the museum of the swimming pool and its 250,000 visitors a year, or reinvented sites such as the Condition Publique, a veritable laboratory of culture and social, urban and environmental innovation, Roubaix keeps its promises. Other must-see sites include La Manufacture (textile design museum), the churches of Saint Joseph and Saint Martin, the Motte-Bossut factory, the town hall and Parc Barbieux, the largest urban park north of Paris.

In addition to forging ties with its textile past, of which it preserves an exceptional heritage, the former wool capital of the world is on a trajectory that elevates it to the status of a capital in many other fields: fashion, street art, zero waste, the digital industry and, of course, cycling! Welcome to the city that has converted its thousand smokestacks and old

The 46th start of the Paris-Roubaix from Compiègne is once again eagerly awaited this year. This 121st edition represents an opportunity to prove once again that Compiègne is a land of cycling. With an active and sporty city label of 3 standard laurels since 2018, it has obtained a level of certification that rewards its actions in favor of sport for all.

The city of Compiègne was also distinguished in 2023 with the "Tour de France Cycling City" label. This award recognizes the efforts made by the local authority to promote cycling and soft mobility. To this end, it has developed equipment and services, supported cycling clubs and associations, and launched a long-term bicycle rental service managed by VéloTIC.

Compiègne's sporting fabric, with more than 14,000 members registered in clubs or associations, has enabled it to obtain the French label of support for the Olympic Games and its facilities will enable it to host foreign delegations before the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Following this global event, these facilities contribute to the development of physical activities and sports in the region.
