Roubaix – Once a swimming pool and public baths, La Piscine in the northern town of Roubaix is today one of France's most unusual art museums. Converted in 2001, the Art Deco complex still attracts some visitors who remember learning to swim there.
Roubaix's swimming pool was designed by progressive architect Albert Baert and opened in 1932. It remains an emblematic place in the former textile town.
