The most interesting and beautiful tourist sites in Lille
Photos, reviews, descriptions, and links to maps
Lille is a border city located 14 kilometres from Belgium. Many historical events of different centuries are connected with it, which is reflected in the local sights. Charles de Gaulle, the French president who changed the colonial policy of the country, was born here. A square is named in his honour, and there is also a museum headed by the de Gaulle Foundation.
The architecture reflects the features of different eras. Churches, the Old Exchange and other buildings are all historic monuments or World Heritage sites. The Citadel is still an active military facility, while the Hospital des Comtesse has been converted into a museum. Football fans will not pass by the home stadium of the Lille club, and young travellers and their parents will definitely enjoy the cosy city zoo.
