Capital of north France-Lille

Lille-Grand Place



Lille is the fourth largest city in France, the capital of Nord-Pas de Calais. As it is located on the border of Belgium and belongs to the region of Flanders, the architecture style is different from other part of France, even though it is only one hour from Paris by train. The weather in Lille is said to be cold and rainy, but actually, the rain goes away fast and the air is fresh. "Chi'ti" is their dailect.

Here is the city center - Grand Place. It is also famous for the market of Vintage. On foot, you could easily walk through the old town - Vieux Lille, experiencing its history. By the stones on the twists and turns streets you could tell the age of this town. Those exquisite boutiques are well installed in ancient buildings. And you could always discover something in a little corner or on a little street: a talented artist working on his paintings,a nice shop, an exposition, etc.
