Lille France

Dull plains and sad cities? No, that is not what the north of France is about, and Lille proves it. Flemish, Spanish and Austrian throughout history, Louis XIV annexed it to France in 1667. This lively city offers a rare agglomeration of architectural beauty, entertainment, cultural life and economic prosperity. Connected by TGV and Eurostar to London and Brussels, Lille is a regional and European metropolis. Lille is famous for its museums and historical quarters; the old town has regained its facades from the 17th and 18th centuries. The facades, combining brick and carved stone is characteristic of the city. An example of the Flemish Renaissance is The House of Gilles de la Boë with its lush decor. The place Louise de Bettignes is a perfect representation of the 17th century trend, with its diamond shaped carved stones. The most popular museums of Lille are the Museum of General De Gaulle, the Museum of Fine Arts, featuring rich collections of great artists as Botticelli, Rubens, Delacroix, Titian, Goya, Veronese, and it is the second largest picture gallery of France after Louvre, and the Museum of Natural History and Geology of Lille, famous for its aquariums and an insectarium. Cool and fashionable, Lille has become the hub of northern France. Its pulsating creativity and industrial background have made it a top shopping spot where to buy quality clothes. And let’s not forget its cutting-edge, student-driven nightlife scene.
