WHAT to do and what to visit?
The Parc de la Citadelle is Lille's main urban park and a place where many EDHEC students go for a run, a workout or a stroll. It's made up of a military base around which you'll find many little paths to enjoy nature without leaving Lille.
​
La Citadelle is an ideal place to spend time with friends and enjoy sunny days, which are not as rare in northern France as you might think.
​
In 2023, Inter'Action Day will take place at La Citadelle!
THE CITADEL
THE BELFRY OF THE TOWN HALL
Visit the Hôtel de Ville Belfry: Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this monument is a must-see in Lille. At a height of 104 meters, you'll enjoy a panoramic view of Lille and the surrounding area.
Inaugurated in 1932, it is the tallest civil belfry in Europe. Its construction was prompted by the destruction of the old town hall during the First World War.
The belfry was designed by the architect Émile Dubuisson, and adjoins the town hall, forming an architectural ensemble that is both massive for the town hall, and slender and slender for the belfry.
Visit the Palais des Beaux-Arts: This is one of France's richest museums. Above all, it houses prestigious European and French paintings in a magnificent 19th-century building.
Ideal for a studious and enriching afternoon! Open every day except Tuesday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Monday from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Beaux-arts
Lose yourself in the streets of Vieux Lille: Vieux Lille is truly representative of this city's charm. Indeed, with its cobbled streets, it's the ideal place to shop in pretty little boutiques and to visit pleasant bars and cafés.
vieux LILLE
Stroll around the Grand'Place: located in the heart of Lille, this is the city's largest and most famous square.
Go there for a drink or simply to admire the beauty of the buildings.
