Places to visit in Lille

Lille is the largest city in the north of France a the birthplace of General Charles De Gaulle. Although it now suffers from high unemployment, It was once known as "the Manchester of France" when it was a leading textile centre, known for its lisle cotton cloth - but the mills and the heavy industry has largely gone, being unable to compete with the lower priced imports from abroad.

Despite its economic problems, the town takes pride in its colourful past, and enjoys its markets, carnivals, and everyday life on the streets. The old quarter is rich in narrow cobblestone streets lined with ancient guild houses, renaissance palaces and gothic churches. There are some fine museums and the shopping is fabulous, with local boutiques and specialist antique shops. Visitors find the many street markets particularly exciting - especially about the famous 'braderies' when miles of streets are lined with second-hand stalls, flea markets - something for everybody!
The city also boasts The Citadelle – a huge 17th century fort surrounded by woods and a park, with a Zoo.
