Places to see in ( Lille - France ) Vieux Lille
The Old Lille is an area located north of Lille . It is the richest area in previous constructions in the xix th century. It still retains many paved streets and some traces of the canals that crisscrossed the city in past centuries. Until the First World War , the name of Vieux-Lille was attributed to all the part of the city prior to the 1858 enlargement, that is to say the part bordered on the west by the boulevard de la Liberty and to the south by the boulevard Louis XIV. During the First World War, around the Rue de Bethune, the train station and Molinel the street are destroyed, the Palais Rihour ( xviii th - xix th centuries) was burned.
The destroyed areas are reconstructed according to the fashion of the thirties, Art Deco around the rue du Molinel, neo-regionalist rue Faidherbe and rue de Bethune. In the 1960s and 1970s, the destruction of the popular district of Saint-Sauveur , makes the Old Lille the last testimony of the architecture of the city before the industrial revolution .
The north of the city center remains the only old part of Lille totally preserved. In fact, it escapes modernization and, as a result, is increasingly neglected by the most privileged inhabitants. It is probably from this period that the name of Vieux-Lille has shifted to this single perimeter. District of immigrants and families until the 1980s , trailing a bad reputation, he escaped a project of fast track in its center. On the contrary, it has been restored under the successive mandates of Pierre Mauroyand today has become a commercially very dynamic neighborhood. There are many bars, restaurants, and various shops, including luxury. Since its rehabilitation, the price of real estate has continued to increase, renewing almost its entire population and resulting in a rapid gentrification of the neighborhood.
If Lille has its origins in Old Lille, in the vicinity of the Notre-Dame de la Treille cathedral , most of what is called Vieux-Lille today is not the oldest of the city. A whole section of Vieux-Lille was built much later than the historic core: the roads north of rue du Pont-Neuf and rue Négrier date from the extension of 1670 decided by Vauban after joining the France of Louis XIV . They are characterized by their linear layout and their regular plan.
The streets, more flexible, located at the junction of Old Lille and the city center and around the cathedral are, however, among the oldest in Lille: rue de la Clef, rue de la Grande-Chaussée , Rue des Chats-Bossus, Place aux Onions , Rue Basse , etc. Most of the streets reflect the pace had Lille in the course of the xviii th century, when the architectural style of type Lille prospered and declined along rows of identical houses in the proportions and rhythms and different in the details of the decorations.

Lille is the capital of the Hauts-de-France region in northern France, near the border with Belgium. A cultural hub and bustling university city today, it was once an important merchant center of French Flanders, and many Flemish influences remain. The historic center, Vieux Lille, is characterized by 17th-century brick town houses, cobbled pedestrian streets and the large central square, Grand Place.
Lille is France's fifth largest metropolitan area and fourth urban area. It is located to the country's north, on the Deûle River, near the border with Belgium.The whole metropolitan area of Lille, both on French and Belgian territory (Courtray, Tournai) was estimated in 2007 at around 1,885,000 inhabitants, ranking as one of the major metropolitan areas of Europe.
Lille has a very nice city centre, excellently suited for a city trip. Most of the sights can be combined in a walking tour. Alot to see such as :
La Vieille Bourse (1653). Right between two picturesque squares, Place du Général-de-Gaulle and Place du Théâtre, this former commercial exchange still plays a central part in the life of the city. You may find booksellers and flower markets in the inner court.
The main square, Place du Général-de-Gaulle, better known as the Grand'place, has many lovely historic houses, like the neo-Flemish headquarters of local newspaper La Voix du Nord, and a fountain with the statue of a goddess, la Grande Déesse (1843).
Place Rihour, surrounded by restaurants, houses the tourist information centre inside its main attraction, the Palais Rihour (1453).
The town hall is worth a look and can be combined nicely with a visit to the Porte de Paris (1692).
The Opera (1923) and the Chamber of Commerce (1921) are located close together and offer magnificent sights, especially when lit-up at night.
Take a stroll through the old quarter of the city, known as Vieux Lille, and enjoy the quiet, cobble-stone streets, the variety of stylish designer shops, gourmet restaurants, and the modern Cathédrale Notre Dame de la Treille. More notable streets like Rue de la Monnaie and Rue Esquermoise are definitely worth the trip.
A bit farther from the city centre is la Citadelle, an interesting example of defensive military architecture, built by Vauban, a famous French military architect, under the reign of Louis the Fourteenth. In the same area is a zoo (free of charge) and a lovely park.
Musée des Beaux-Arts, a famed museum covering European art from 15th - 20th century.
Museum of Natural History, a large collection of stuffed mammals, insects, fossils, etc.
Musée de l'Hospice Comtesse, a former hospital now presenting art.
Musée d'Art et d' Industrie de Roubaix : La Piscine, a 20th century art museum hosted in a beautiful Art déco (start of 20th century) former swimming pool.
LAM - Lille Art Modern Museum, modern art, outsider art, contemporary art.
The open market, Marché de Wazemmes

The streets of the North may have created the famous Paris-Roubaix road race, but it’s something gentler that awaits you in ‘Le Vieux-Lille’. It is a great way to explore the streets, squares and alleyways which create the charm of the city today. Peddling against the wind, you pass an uninterrupted succession of magnificent 17th and 18th century façades and prestigious brands from ‘La Rue Grand Chaussée’ to ‘La Rue de la Monnaie’. Two stops are essential: one by ‘l'Huîtrière’ (a stunning Art Deco building), and the other by the‘Hospice Comtesse’. This is one of the most beautiful places in Lille. Go down past the weaver’s cottages in‘La rue Pétérinck’ until you reach the small ‘Place aux Oignons’ - which you will love. Visit ‘La Treille’. You will like the colourful houses with their wooden bridges.
You can explore all the small streets of the ‘La Treille’ district, such as ‘La Rue Doudin’, ‘La Rue Jean Jacques Rousseau’ and the narrow ‘Rue Coquerez’. Then cross ‘La Rue Royale’ with all its individual hotels to explore Sainte Catherine church square - a charming place. Traces of the old canal network are not far away. The water which flowed through the old town can still be seen in the architecture today and is remembered in evocative names. Take the magnificent, narrow ‘Rue de la Halloterie’ which is not that easy to spot. Follow ‘Rue de la Baignerie’ and turn into ‘Rue du Quai’. You will arrive in ‘Les Quais de Wault’. This is a place from another time that evokes an old Lille when barges would have moored here at your feet. One turn of the pedals and you arrive at the citadel.
The citadel is a perfect place for cycling. Cycle paths and tree-lined avenues make touring by bike very pleasant. There is no better way to explore the defences designed by Vaubin and to enjoy this beautiful, natural area. You will not disturb the herons beside the water, or the Soay sheep on top of the ramparts. And if two large horns appear over the tall grass - don’t worry. It’s only an impressive, but gentle, Irish bull naturally maintaining the green surroundings. This is a place not to be missed, where you can cycle beside the water along the shaded Mathias Delobel avenue. Go over Ory bridge and follow the ‘Le Bois’ path. You will come to the picturesque ‘Quai Géry Legrand’ with its moored barges.
Go down the ‘Bd de la Liberté’ admiring the ‘Place de la République’ and the Fine Arts Museum in passing. ‘La Porte’ and ‘Rue de Paris’ are at the end where all the unmissable landmarks in Lille are located (the belfry, ‘l'Hospice Gantois’, ‘La Noble Tour’.). The ‘Bd Jean Baptiste Lebas’ and its central park is nearby. Cycle along the ‘Wazemmes’ and ‘Moulins’ districts, which have kept their popular vibe, by following the boulevards ‘Victor Hugo’ and ‘Montebello’. There is so much evidence of the philanthropic city to explore - the last ‘courées’ (workers’ houses), markets, etc. Finally, on the last leg, the ‘Boulevard Vauban’ and the amazing Catholic University - a vision of Oxford or of Hogwarts - it’s up to you! Last stop, the beautiful ‘Jardin Vauban’ before returning to the citadel.

LILLE FRANCE, MyPhone Walking Tour #2019
Lille France
Lille is just one hour and twenty minutes away from London on the Eurostar, which makes it quicker and sometimes cheaper to reach than Bristol. The shopping, in particular, is worth travelling for but there are some really smart new hotels with great restaurants that make alternatives look pretty dull in comparison.
As with many French cities, Lille possesses a great contrast between the old and the new.
In under two hours on the smart Eurostar train from London's stunningly renovated St Pancras station, Lille has everything you could wish for on a day out or short break. Think great food, excellent shopping, attractive architecture that reflects a long history, a fascinating museum and one of France's finest art galleries.
Everything you want to see is within walking distance of Lille Europe station, from where it's an easy stroll into the city.
En route you might want to drop in to Les Trois Brasseurs opposite Lille's other railway station, and taste one of the rather good beers that this friendly micro-brewery has to offer.
With fountains splashing at her feet, the Goddess atop her column reigns over the busy shops and pavement cafés of the Grand' Place -- official title Place du Général de Gaulle. Lille was the General's birthplace.
