Recommendations

  • Citroen 2CV Tour

    Take a tour in a classic Citroen 2CV and cruise through the streets in the iconic, stylish French car, complete with driver and guide.
  • Vieux-Lille

    Take your time strolling through Vieux-Lille, the city's old town district, to admire its cobbled streets and colourful buildings. This is 17th-century French architecture at its best.
  • Beffroi de l'Hôtel de Ville

    A UNESCO World Heritage site, the Beffroi de l'Hôtel de Ville is 104m tall with views as far as 40km away on a clear day. If the climb is too much, there's a lift to the top after the first 100 steps.
  • Le Quesnoy

    Take a day trip by train into the countryside to visit the small fortified town of Le Quesnoy. There are castle ruins from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, fantastic footpaths and a scenic lake where you can swim, kayak and stand-up paddle board.
  • La Piscine-Musée d'Art

    A gallery like no other, La Piscine-Musée d'Art invites viewers to explore the series of rotating exhibitions displayed in the beautiful Art Deco structure of a former municipal swimming pool.
  • Palais des Beaux Arts

    Head to Palais des Beaux Arts, Lille's municipal museum, to view its excellent collection of fine art, sculpture and historic artefacts. You can take your pick from the series of expertly curated routes and gallery tours available.
