Église Saint-Louis de Tourcoing

L'église Saint-Louis de Tourcoing est une église de Tourcoing dans le quartier populaire de l'Épidème, désaffectée par le diocèse de Lille en 2009. Elle est de style néo-roman, l'extérieur est en briques, avec un haut clocher en façade. Elle est actuellement réhabilitée en espace culturel par un chantier école de réinsertion sociale, où la pédagogie et la transmission des valeurs partagées est une priorité. Ce chantier permet au lieu de reprendre vie, grâce aux aides reçues des différents donateurs très investis dans le projet (Fondation Treille Espérance, Fondation Anber, Fondation du patrimoine, la Ville de Tourcoing, le département du Nord, la Région Hauts-de-France, la MEL, Mouvaux Solidarité…). Cet espace inédit se visite lors des portes ouvertes comme aux journées du patrimoine, le troisième week-end de septembre. L’association L’essence et les sens du lieu est l’acteur qui anime le lieu socialement et localement. L’association FARLAB fait rayonner le projet au-delà des murs et coordonne les projets de l'ancienne église Saint-Louis à Tourcoing et de l'ancienne église Saint-Gérard à Wattrelos.

Tourcoing

Tourcoing (French: [tuʁkwɛ̃] ; Dutch: Toerkonje [tuːrˈkɔɲə]; West Flemish: Terkoeje; Picard: Tourco) is a city in northern France on the Belgian border. It is designated municipally as a commune within the department of Nord. Located to the north-northeast of Lille, adjacent to Roubaix, Tourcoing is the chef-lieu of two cantons and the fourth largest city in the French region of Hauts-de-France ranked by population with about 97,000 inhabitants. Together with the cities of Lille, Roubaix, Villeneuve-d'Ascq and eighty-six other communes, Tourcoing is part of four-city-centred metropolitan area inhabited by more than 1.1 million people: the Métropole Européenne de Lille. To a greater extent, Tourcoing belongs to a vast conurbation formed with the Belgian cities of Mouscron, Kortrijk and Tournai, which gave birth to the first European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation in January 2008, Lille–Kortrijk–Tournai with an aggregate of just over 2 million inhabitants.
