The climate in Roubaix is generally mild, and so as you sail through the streets in your rental vehicle you may like to stop off at one of the lovely green spaces in the city. As Roubaix is located in Northern France, you will also have the opportunity to savor a variety of Northern French cuisine, such as caramels, tarte tatin, quiche lorraine and warming, hearty stews. Cruising through the city, you will see so many wonderful buildings and monuments, and this is because some great architects have worked on Roubaix throughout the centuries, such as Maxime Real del Sarte (who made the city's statue of Joan of Arc) and more recently Wim Delvoye who created a modern monument as a kind of welcoming gateway to the city.
