People's guidebook to Lens
Price includes free postage and packing.
A set of postcards from the Lens region accompany the People's Guidebook to Lens in France, commissioned by the Louvre-Lens Tourism office. Lens is a UNESCO World Heritage destination and is home to a new extension of the Louvre gallery. It is a former mining town, which is known for its landmark slag heaps, which rise above the otherwise flat landscape like two volcanoes. The guidebook is full of the places that people from the Lens region consider to reflect their history, culture and personal memories. In a nutshell, the things that makes it feel like home. The project was funded through the ICR INTERREG programme which both Strange Cargo and the Mission Départementale Louvre-Lens Tourisme were partners in. Strange Cargo worked with Compagnie Hendrick Van Der Zee (HVDZ), a Lens based theatre group to collect stories from the general public for this fascinating guide to Lens. Helped along by the Pays d'Art et d'Histoire group. Local photographers Dans la Boite, were responsible for taking the photographs that accompany the stories selected for the book. The guidebook is on sale here at Strange Cargo and at the Louvre in Lens.
