Places to see in ( Lille - France ) Vieux Lille
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.

Places to see in ( Lille - France ) Villeneuve d'Ascq
Villeneuve-d'Ascq is a commune in the Nord department in northern France. With more than 60,000 inhabitants and 50,000 students, it is one of the main cities of the Métropole Européenne de Lille and the largest in area (27.46 km²) after Lille; it is also one of the main cities of the Hauts-de-France region. Built up owing to the merger between Ascq, Annappes and Flers-lez-Lille communes, the new town is the cradle of the first automatic metro system of the world (VAL).
Villeneuve-d'Ascq is nicknamed the 'green technopole' thanks to the implantation of many researchers - the campus of Lille University of Science and Technology, Charles de Gaulle University – Lille III and many graduate engineering school - and companies in a pleasant living environment. Owing to its activity centres, its Haute Borne European scientific park and two shopping malls, Villeneuve-d'Ascq is one of the main economic spots of the Hauts-de-France region; multinational corporations such as Bonduelle, Cofidis and Decathlon have their head office there.
Outside its academic, scientific and business facilities, Villeneuve-d'Ascq is mostly known because of its sporting events – two stadiums (Stade Pierre-Mauroy and Stadium Lille Métropole) are located there and some of its sport teams are playing in the top division; its museums – the most famous is the one of modern, contemporary and outsider art (the LaM); its green ways and its medical facilities for disabled people.
Its name means new city of Ascq in French and is derived from the Flemish word for ash. The name of the city is generally written without the customary hyphen. The city counts approximately 10 km2 (3.9 sq mi) of greenspace, lakes, forests and arable lands. It is located between Lille and Roubaix, at the crossroads of the principal freeways towards Paris, Ghent, Antwerp and Brussels.
The roots of the city can be traced back to Celtic Gaul, and are anchored in two feudal mounds, a Gallo-Roman site and a Carolingian one. Its site was selected in the 1960s to accommodate the new town of Lille-Est, which was to channel the development of the agglomeration. The commune of Villeneuve-d'Ascq was created in 1970 by the amalgamation of the communes of Ascq, Annappes and Flers. Its name evokes at the same time the new city and the memory of Ascq, martyr city of 1 April 1944, date on which the Nazis massacred 86 men, see the Ascq massacre. The city's merger with Lille was contentious and failed twice (1972 and 1976).
Having succeeded Gérard Caudron as mayor from 1977 to 2001, Jean-Michel Stievenard and his team wish to maintain balances the environnement and the economic development, the greenery and technology, the daily wellbeing and the great projects, the social one and quality, opening on the its internal comfort and rest of the world, its finance and high degree of public utility. The mayors of Villeneuve-d'Ascq since 1977 have been members of the Socialist Party (Parti socialiste).In 2008, the local elections brought back to the city council Gerard Caudron as mayor. Villeneuve-d'Ascq is the seat of the canton of Villeneuve-d'Ascq.
As a part of the Métropole Européenne de Lille, Villeneuve-d'Ascq is connected to Lille city centre by a VAL, a type of fully automatic (driverless) light rubber-tired metro. The VAL metro line runs through Villeneuve-d'Ascq from Quatre-Cantons and Cité Scientifique stations and drives up to Lille historical city centre and railways stations in about ten minutes.
