Just a stone’s throw from La Maison Fives, an astonishing sight greets us. Colorful and round, funny heads float in the air, adding a touch of whimsy to the neighborhood. These installations, known as “Happy Heads”, are the work of artists Benoît + Bo, and are located in the Passage de l’Internationale, a bustling spot in the Fives Cail district.
This artwork is part of the lille3000 event, which aims to energize art in the city and introduce unique creations to residents and visitors of Lille. The installation beautifully contrasts with the modern glass and steel architecture of this building, creating an atmosphere that is both disconcerting and captivating.
We strongly encourage you to come and see these colorful works that beautify our neighborhood. Take advantage of your visit to La Maison Fives to explore this creative corner of Lille, where art and hospitality meet in a warm atmosphere.
Don’t miss this artistic experience in the heart of Lille and discover how the Fives district is evolving and transforming!

We are pleased to announce an exciting transformation: La Maison Folia becomes La Maison Fives. A new place, a new name, but always the same energy that drives us. We have left the countryside to anchor ourselves in the vibrant and bustling neighborhood of Fives Cail.
An Evolving Space
Our corner building, with its large facade, will soon welcome a giant mural that will capture attention. Right next door, a second house with two large garages will be transformed into a ceramic workshop-boutique. We still have some work to do before the planned opening on November 1st, and the Christmas spirit will settle in here to celebrate this moment.
A Unique Experience
We don’t really like to define ourselves as a guest house, and we’re not a traditional hotel either. So we’ve created a formula that resembles us: a Five-room hôtel & Atelier-Boutique. This independent design venue offers five comfortable rooms, each with its own bathroom and space. You’ll also find a living room-library, a jazzy atmosphere, and a room dedicated to breakfasts and meals, all in an early century Lille house.
Ceramics that Tell a Story
Next to our hotel, the ceramic workshop will be an open space on the street, where we will bring to life the continuation of La Maison Fives. We aim to produce local ceramics that resonate with our city, its inhabitants, and the neighborhood. Work began in August, and we will share some progress here to keep you informed.
A New Urban Life
This new adventure reminds us of our years spent in Montreal and Brussels. We have always dreamed of opening our Five-room hôtel in the city, and today, we feel in our element. Surrounded by artists’ studios, art galleries, the Fives Cail brewery, and new restaurants, we are witnessing the energy unfolding in the new Fives.
A Neighborhood in Transformation
We are delighted to be part of this new life in the heart of a reinventing neighborhood. La Maison Fives is much more than just accommodation. It’s a place for exchanges, creativity, and hospitality, where every visitor can feel the warmth of our community.

Discover Contemporary Art in Lille: Philippe Katerine at La Sécu Gallery
We recently had the pleasure of discovering a fascinating exhibition at the Contemporary Art Gallery La Sécu, located in the dynamic neighborhood of Lille Fives. This exhibition highlights the drawings and repurposed skulls by Philippe Katerine, an artist of many talents. Yes, you read that right, the singer also proves to be a drawer, painter, and even a bit of a sculptor in his own way.
While strolling through the streets of Lille, you may have come across his famous pink figures, installed as part of Lille3000. To us, they look like bubblegum men, adding a touch of color and whimsy to our city.
La Sécu Gallery is located just 300 meters from the future Maison Folia, which, by the way, will soon be changing its name. But don’t worry, we’ll tell you all about it very soon!
The Fives neighborhood, and more particularly the Fives Cail project, is buzzing with activity. Between exhibitions, galleries, and artists’ workshops, there’s a real creative energy that makes you want to settle down and unpack your bags.
Whether you’re passing through or a resident, don’t miss the opportunity to discover the cultural riches of Lille Fives. We really can’t wait to show you even more.
