Le Vieux Lille

Discover the charm of Old Lille, a historic district in the heart of Europe.

Located a few kilometers from the Belgian border, Lille is distinguished by its rich cultural heritage and lively streets. Old Lille, the city's historic jewel, invites you on a journey into the past with its cobbled streets, red brick buildings and colorful Flemish-inspired facades. This picturesque district is home to iconic sites such as the Grand'Place, the Vieille Bourse and the Notre-Dame-de-la-Treille Cathedral, where Gothic and modern architecture meet. With its elegant boutiques, art galleries and cozy cafés, Old Lille attracts history buffs as much as shopping and gastronomy enthusiasts. Local specialties, such as waffles from Meert or craft beer, will delight the most discerning palates. A stroll through Old Lille is to discover a district that perfectly combines tradition and urban dynamism.
