Travel: Les Toquées – A Six Room Guesthouse in Lille, France

The Lille residence Les Toquées houses six guest rooms above the restaurant of the same name. The interior designers of En Bande Organisée and Pollux studio took their inspiration from the region and its past, the house and its location on the banks of the Deule to tell a unique story in each of the six rooms and give them a unique identity.

Their interior is paying tribute to the big bad North with brick elements, dark colours, linen, marble and light-coloured wood flooring.
