Art Deco Spring is back across Hauts-de-France, with two months of tours, exhibitions and workshops running through May 31, 2026. (printempsartdeco.fr) The regional programme opened on April 3 and brings together 21 partner cities and tourism offices, from Lille and Roubaix to Amiens, Saint-Quentin and Soissons. (printempsartdeco.fr; amiens.fr) Organizers say the festival focuses on architecture and design from the 1920s and 1930s, with guided visits, talks, discovery workshops, concerts and self-guided routes listed on the 2026 agenda. (printempsartdeco.fr; sortiraparis.com) In Hauts-de-France, Art Deco is tied closely to post-World War I reconstruction, when bombed towns and villages rebuilt churches, memorials and civic buildings in newer geometric styles. (printempsartdeco.fr; printempsartdeco.fr) That history gives the festival a wider footprint than a single museum show: the “exhibits” are often town halls, churches, swimming pools, houses and streets that residents pass every day. (printempsartdeco.fr; tourisme-bethune-bruay.fr) This week’s official listings include long-running events such as a video-mapping show in Roubaix through April 25, an exhibition on architect Pierre Leprince-Ringuet’s churches in Cambrésis through April 26, and self-guided Art Deco trails in places including Albert and Valenciennes through May 31. (printempsartdeco.fr; printempsartdeco.fr) The festival has been running since 2012, according to the City of Lille, and the 2026 edition follows the heavy programming around the 2025 centenary year for Art Deco in France. (lille.fr; calameo.com) For visitors planning April 25-26 outings, the programme is split by town and venue rather than by one central site, so local listings matter. Sortiraparis points readers to area-specific schedules, including Phalempin-area options, while the festival’s own agenda tracks events across the region through the end of May.
