Lille
Lille: The Cultural Capital of French Flanders
Lille is France's fourth-largest city and the capital of the Hauts-de-France region, situated near the Belgian border. This dynamic metropolis combines a rich Flemish heritage, impressive 17th-century architecture, and contemporary urban culture. The old town, with its magnificent Grand'Place, world-class Palace of Fine Arts, and picturesque cobblestone streets, attracts travelers from around the globe. The annual Braderie de Lille—Europe's largest flea market—transforms the city into a massive celebration every first weekend of September.
