About Lille
Lille is the capital of French Flanders, a city of gabled brick façades, a large fine arts museum, and beer, mussels and a famous flea market.
Lille was Flemish until Louis XIV took it in 1667, and the old centre still looks it: the Grand'Place is framed by gabled brick façades, and the Vieille Bourse, a seventeenth-century courtyard of arcades, hosts book stalls and chess players. Vieux-Lille's cobbled streets are lined with Flemish houses, the town hall belfry gives a high view, and the Citadelle, a star-shaped fortress by Vauban, is ringed by parkland.
Top-ranked sights in Lille: Lille Old Town (Vieux Lille), Hospice Comtesse Museum (Musée de l'Hospice Comtesse), Lille Town Hall and Belfry (Beffroi de l'Hôtel de Ville de Lille).
