The most charming district of Lille....

This district located in the north of Lille is undoubtedly the busiest and most famous district of the city, and one can enjoy getting lost in the maze of its narrow streets. For its medieval charm and Flemish look, some people call it La petite Bruges.
 

A magnificent mixture of brick and stone

The Vieux-Lille district seduces with its Spanish Flanders architecture. A beautiful restoration has enabled it to recover its vast 17th and 18th century bourgeois residences with decorated facades and gables, including the Place Louise-de-Bettignies. Among the historic buildings not to be missed: the Opera, the Lille Cathedral or the Vieille Bourse (undoubtedly the most beautiful monument in Lille).
