Lille, the shining star of French Flanders

Welcome to Lille, northern France. We are a few kilometers away from the Belgian border, in a city with unique history, architecture, and traditions, a city that has survived sieges, occupation, economic upheaval through the centuries, to emerge more beautiful, more powerful, and more dynamic than most.
Come and join Véro on a stroll around Lille's once bustling center, that even on New Year's Even 2020, can't resign itself to a subdued atmosphere.
Read more about Lille in this detailed story I published in January 2020.

We visited Lille in 2018. We enjoyed it very much. Thanks for your excellent commentary. We will be adding to your tip jar. 😀

Thank you very much. I am happy you enjoyed this stroll. Lille is a favorite French city of mine and deserves a lot more attention from visitors :-)

Fun to revisit Lille with you after my visit there in 2018. In the same building as the tourist office I remember entering the museum and climbing four flights. Great stained glass in there and an art installation.

One grand father came from French Flanders and spoke Flemish. But didn't came from Lille.

Orange is a great color for you.

I want to visit Lille in 2026. My great uncle died at the Battle of Loos in 1915 aged 19 and is commemorated at the military cemetery. Is the cemetery near Loos?. Also can l get a taxi from Lille to Loos?
