Lille offers a wonderful mix of major brand stores, charming French streets, and stunning historic monuments. Lille truly has the best of both worlds. This lively city was founded back in the 11th century along the well-known Deûle River. Lille’s unique character stems from its Flemish heritage, which means you’ll find more than just French cuisine here. Belgian-style fries are a staple in the city’s street food scene. The blend of Flemish and French influences gives Lille a special charm—so much so that it was named the European Capital of Culture in 2004.

Just outside the city centre, you’ll find the impressive Citadel of Lille, which is still used by the French army today, so unfortunately visitors can’t go inside. However, it’s well worth a visit—the surrounding park, bordered by the Deûle River, is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the scenery.
This neo-Gothic cathedral may appear modest from the outside, but it’s definitely worth stepping inside. Inside, you’ll find a beautiful statue of Mary that attracts many visitors. Next to the cathedral stands an impressive bell tower from 1874, known as ‘la Campanile’.
Located just outside the city centre in a former student district, this fascinating museum features a collection that includes impressive dinosaur exhibits. With a history stretching back about 150 years, it’s a great choice for families and anyone interested in nature and science.
If you’d rather not walk too far but still want to see something special, head to Lille’s central square and admire the famous fountain with its striking statue of a goddess. In the summer, the area around the fountain is filled with visitors hoping to snap a photo with this iconic statue.
Whether you love shopping, exploring beautiful green spaces, taking the opportunity to visit romantic Paris, or enjoying a glass of wine surrounded by historic monuments, Lille is the place for you! Don’t hesitate to book a campsite in this wonderful city and start your adventure.
