In the dusky moonlight of evening, you will come across The Chamber of Commerce and The Opera. It will feel like a magnificently lit fairy-tale castle. Around the Citadelle, a military center, there is a zoo and park where your family can spend time for free.
Place du General de Gaulle is decorated with charming French houses. The medieval scenery along it is accentuated with the graceful fountain in the middle of the square. Vieux Lille is the classy neighborhood, rich in restaurants and boutiques. Whether or not dining and shopping here are in your budget, you must at least visit this neighborhood.
