About Lille
Situated in French Flanders, near France’s border with Belgium, Lille is the fifth-largest city in France. Lille is connected to the Brussels – Paris – London TGV network. The journey to Brussels takes little more than 30 minutes, to Paris about an hour, and to London about an hour and 25 minutes.
Lille is an attractive city with old and young architectural treasures reflecting the Flemish, Burundian and Spanish styles. You may admire the Flemish influence including the use of brown and red brick and the magnificent façades along the streets, which give each neighbourhood its own special identity. Some of the places worth visiting are le Vieux Lille (Old City), la Grand’ Place (main square), the Town Hall and the belfry, the Citadelle and the Fine Arts Museum.
Every year, on the first weekend of September, Lille hosts La Grande Braderie. Its origins date back to the Middle Ages and it is the largest flea market in Europe, drawing between two and three million visitors into the city. Do not miss it!
