Lace-making school retracing the history of lace-making, an activity that leaves its mark on Bailleul and its heritage.
The school was founded after the First World War, in a superb neo-Flemish building that can be visited. There are around 150 students taking part in mixed-grade courses. They learn techniques with sometimes unusual names: torchon, Russian, figurative, Lille or Cluny. They also learn both classic stitches and contemporary designs. Every year, more than 1,800 visitors revive this tradition for a visit, watch the lacemakers at work and learn the art of lacemaking themselves.
