The authentic bricked<\/strong> spirit of the Lille<\/strong> area..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Now that you better know Lille, did you know that its surrounding European Metropolis of Lille has been competent since 2000 in many field? Therefore, this structure works hard to highlight its major assets, in terms of development and cohesion of its multifaceted territory.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Apart from being a cultural metropolis, t<\/strong>he MEL has a strong ambition to support major facilities of community interest and events of metropolitan interest, but also by promoting some local initiatives and dynamics carried by each member municipality. Among them, we found you a couple of delicious examples, both in a gastronomic and cultural sides.<\/strong> By AP<\/em><\/p>\n

A little bit outside of Lille<\/strong>, we invite you to immerse yourself in the charming suburb of Lambersart<\/strong>.. Nested around the De\u00fble<\/strong> river, there’s an unmissable gastronomic<\/strong> restaurant to discover, settled in a former creamery<\/strong>. Logically baptized La Laiterie<\/strong><\/a> in Lambersart<\/strong>, this Gault Millau<\/strong> honored address is nowadays conducted by the Chef Edouard Chouteau<\/strong>. This inspired Breton<\/strong> native wishes to impulse an original vision of high gastronomy<\/strong>, mixing seasonal and small productors’ treasures<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Indeed, this Chef<\/strong> who has gone through many famous names of haute cuisine<\/strong><\/em> took control of La Laiterie<\/strong>, as an iconic symbol of Lille<\/strong>, which was honored by numerous specialized guides<\/strong>.<\/div>\n

In this culinary<\/strong> den, you are invited, depending on your mood, to enjoy the various tasting<\/strong> menus, wether on the terrace<\/strong>, facing the garden<\/strong> or in one of the more intimate lounges<\/strong>. Always completed by the wide wine<\/strong> selection coming from the wine cellar<\/strong>, well equipped with its 1000 references and 4000 bottles, with a nice stock of millesimes<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ideal conditions to appreciate the Terre & Mar\u00e9e<\/strong> alloy menu<\/strong>, highlighting the synergy<\/strong> between those two elements, which are very present in this region<\/strong>, unless you’re more into a vegetal<\/strong> menu (as also containing caviar<\/strong>), starring tasty vegetables<\/strong> enhanced in many ways. In a way, this is a glance to the past experience of Edouard Chouteau<\/strong> at the illustrious vegetal<\/strong> address of Alain Passard<\/strong>. At last, don’t miss the student formula<\/strong> for 60 euros!<\/div>\n

For your information, all of those ingredients<\/strong> are mainly sourced from local producers<\/strong> and comprising several satellites. First, let’s integrate a slice of the traditional flammiche<\/strong><\/em> revisited this time with Cassel<\/strong> cheese, as an alternative to the usual Maroilles<\/strong> for this local pie<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
As a marine<\/strong> alternative, let you get tempted by an oyster<\/strong> topped for the occasion, with premium Kaviari<\/strong> caviar. On top of that, take some time to enjoy some yellow cold cooked egg<\/strong>, accompanied with bottarga<\/strong>, a balanced mix between alternative eggs<\/strong> from cod, mullet, trout, herring and pike.<\/div>\n
L’Ecailler Parfum\u00e9<\/strong><\/em> is proposed “in-between” with some rapeseed<\/strong> oil, to spread on a slice of faluche<\/strong><\/em>. This bread is another specialty from the Hauts-de-France<\/strong>, with the addition (or not) of herb<\/strong> butter.<\/div>\n

Thereafter, we pursue with a step on black<\/strong> truffle<\/strong>, represented here by a lucullus<\/strong><\/em> piece, a specialty of Valenciennes<\/strong>, revisited here in “La Laiterie<\/strong> style”. Therefore, the deviled beef<\/strong> tongue is replaced by raw beef rib<\/strong> with a Porto<\/strong> and Madeira<\/strong> infused sauce, over a pan-fried and foie gras<\/em> terrine<\/strong>, finalized in its cooking fat<\/strong>. All this beautiful creation has been covered personally by the Chef<\/strong>, by a shower of P\u00e9rigord<\/strong> truffles. Indeed, it was a very good year for black truffles<\/strong>, with beautiful nuggets<\/strong>, reaching up to 400g, while reaching to find the firmest truffles<\/strong>.<\/div>\n

This wedding is pleasantly flavored with a few coriander<\/strong> sprigs and its mustard seeds<\/strong>, drown into a (very hot) lobster<\/strong> and shrimp<\/strong> broth. Moreover, the 3rd generation of pigeons<\/strong> is proposed here from the Dequidt Family<\/strong>, accompanied by its jumble of shellfish<\/strong> (whelks, razor clams, cockles, brown crab) and carcass<\/strong> jus flavored with its shellfish<\/strong> juice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Without forgetting the cheese tray<\/strong> displaying local flavors, including Lupulus<\/strong> ripened cheese<\/strong>, along other fine specimens, such as Shropshire Blue<\/strong>, Beaufort<\/strong>, Morbier<\/strong> but this time refined in the Hauts-de-France<\/strong> region.

An impressive bricked entrance gate<\/strong> to welcome you..<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Still in those Lille<\/strong> surroundings, we invite you to explore the industrial past<\/strong> from Roubaix<\/strong>, lately upgraded thanks to different social<\/strong> and cultural<\/strong> initiatives. Among them, we can count on La<\/strong> Condition Publique<\/strong><\/a>, a dynamic cultural center located in a formed bricked textile warehouse<\/strong>, initially intended for the storage of wool<\/strong> and silks<\/strong>, before the storage of artworks<\/strong>. Therefore, this symbol of the city’s economic prosperity<\/strong> has become a must-see cultural factory<\/strong>, notably thanks to a surprising rehabilitation by the architect Patrick Bouchain <\/strong>in 2004. This renovation respected the work of the initial structure of Albert Bouvy<\/strong>, from 1902.<\/p>\n

Apart from its function of creative laboratory<\/strong>, the site of La Condition Publique<\/strong> is as well a place to work and art <\/strong>dissemination, at the crossroads between urban<\/strong>, cultural<\/strong> and environmental<\/strong> roads. <\/p>\n

For instance, you may walk through its wide surface of rooftops<\/strong>, covered streets<\/strong> and glassed canopies<\/strong>, and then better understand the evolution of this building<\/strong> and its new uses. Indeed, these roofs<\/strong> have been vegetated<\/strong> since the construction of the edifice<\/strong>, along a breathtaking view over Roubaix<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, in order to optimize the conservation of the former textile<\/strong> materials stored in the halls, those hanging gardens<\/strong> were settled to maintain a constant and necessary humidity<\/strong> rate, for the storage of wool<\/strong>. Nonetheless, a pile of urban dust<\/strong> threw on those roofs<\/strong> time after time, allowing a wild and particularly rich vegetation<\/strong> to develop there. At last, the rehabilitation<\/strong> initiated in 2003 aimed to preserve this vegetation <\/strong>of more than 300 species<\/strong>, telling the story of Roubaix<\/strong>, with some plants from Poland<\/strong> witnessing the various immigration<\/strong> waves.<\/p>\n

At the occasion of the upcoming season 2022, a series of brand new exhibitions<\/strong> has been settled. Among them, this “Urbain.es”<\/strong><\/em> installation has been settled from 31st March until 24th July 2022, under the curatorship of the famous Parisian<\/strong> gallery owner Magda Danysz<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Located in the main exhibition<\/strong> space of La Condition Publique<\/strong>, which is also the wide indoor skate park<\/strong>, where the previous act Street Generation(s)<\/strong><\/em> took place in 2017, about the history of street art<\/strong>, of which Magda Danysz<\/strong> was already the exhibition<\/strong> curator. This proposal was carried out around documentary<\/strong> testimonies reconstituting historical urban interventions<\/strong>, which were mixed with original artworks<\/strong> loaned for the event by various artists<\/strong> and collectors<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

In the same way, this exhibition<\/strong> focuses about all types of artists<\/strong>, whatever their gender<\/strong>, introduce the figure of femininity<\/strong> into their street art<\/strong>. Indeed, spread over 1500 m\u00b2, this is not a feminist<\/strong> exhibition, since each of the selected artists<\/strong> offer their own experience and vision of femininity<\/strong>, through their imagination highlighting their place in society<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

30 years after creating her first contemporary art<\/strong> gallery, Magda Danysz<\/strong> still remains amazed by artists<\/strong>, defining herself as a director<\/strong>. This exhibition<\/strong> holds a 3-dimensional<\/strong> scenography, in which Magda Danysz<\/strong> had worked on for several months.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, it’s also a good occasion to get into the urban art<\/strong> displayed all around La Condition Publique<\/strong>, gradually completed by the support of implication<\/strong> of various artists<\/strong>.
