Main square where the magnificent 17th-century Vieille Bourse is located.
The Grand Place of Lille is a great place to meet up with friends to then walk Vieux Lille, sit at a cafe for a wine or beer, and people watching.

Designed by architect Julien Destrée, the Old Stock Exchange (circa 1653) is a magnificent example of the Flemish baroque style.
Marvelous building dominating the main square of the old city. Amazing architecture and details, both on exterior and in the courtyard.

La Grange Nature is a center to raise awareness and education about nature. There is ample parking. It is is next to a ‘Reserve Naturelle des Étangs de Romelaere’, with walks amongst marshes with ponds and rivers/canals. In July it was full of vegetation and lots of wildlife. The walks are easy as they are on wood boards. There is large hut to observe: cormorans, grebes, aigrettes, ducks, with drawings and names of birds. This reserve also has bitterns! (although we could not see one then). There is a river to cross on a ferry that one pulls across the river by a chain. It is reasonably easy to do for an adult or teenager. Lots of explanations on the environment. There are several circuits, from 1.2 to 4 km, some of which accessible for all. Nice place to spend time at.

One of the best places and art spaces in Lille. The food is excellent, the Ola Cuba contemporary art exhibition absolutely brilliant! This former train station is a must If you want to escape main street shopping

Lovely long weekend destination. Great architecture - look for square beyond Place de Lion ( Place de Louise Bernieries?) for interesting Flemish style frontages. Feels safe, relaxed easy going city, with plenty of restaurants through the old town. Do book in advance though or risk walking from one to another looking for a table at weekends.

A work colleague had to manually ‘force’ me to come here, prior to a work meeting ‘so as to exorcise a bad experience with a French lady’, last year. Fair play to him - it worked. A pleasant early morning jog/run along the beach which is unspoiled and has a natural essence to it. Very cold, but, of course the air is ‘sea fresh’. Parking is good and in close proximity. Well worth a visit, tbh.

My wife and I are huge book lovers and you could definitely spend over an hour in here if you speak French. They have a small English section with books priced at around £10+. A great place to hide from the rain and get lost in all genres of books.
