The Vieille Bourse was our favourite building in Lille. It translates as “Old Exchange” and its name comes from its role as a merchant’s exchange in the 17th century. It’s made up of 24 richly decorated houses facing a central courtyard. Nowadays, it’s home to stalls of second hand book sellers and despite its popularity it remains a quieter and more tranquil place than the nearby Grand Place.

Intersting styled theatre is situated not far from Palais de Beaux Arts. It was built in 1903 and now you can enjoy opera performance here. In style there are some signs of Russian architecture. In 1996 the theatre was reconstructed and enlarged.

Not far from the citadel there is Rameu Place. I was surprised when I read the table near of the palace. As a matter of fact in the end of XIX century this palace was built as an orangerie. Just to enjot flowers. Nice idea, isn't it?

The building was built in 1717 tht presented royal power in the center of the city (it has a name Grand Garde). In comparision with buildings around in Flemish style the building has the classical style. Nowadays in the building Theatre du Nord is situated.

Lille is a provincial city on the border line between France and Belgium. The place is nice in architecture and has a Belgian atmosphere. It is a students-related city, so lots of entertainment. One warning, drinks are expensive on Central Square.

Lille seems to be a city of statues and monuments.
Every corner you turn seems to bring you to another statue!
As all the plaques were in french, we often did not know what the statue represented, but I took photos of them all anyway.
This one we could understand - it was a monument to Charles de Gaulle, who was born in Lille.

Lille used to belong to what is now known as Flanders (Belgium) a long time ago. And indeed, not only the streetnames ( rue d'Ostende), but also the beautifully decorated facades look like the facades of Bruges or Ghent. You can find most of them around the area of the Grand' Place, but also in the district of Vieux Lille.

Look around in the streets and you will see some amazing architecture. I found this beautiful building during the tour of the city. Watch out for little backstreet houses, windowsills bursting with pretty coloured flowers!!

This building has just been renovated and is an incredible jewel in comparison to the neighborhood where it is situated. The outside is very nice, but also the inside : the ceiling, the balcony and the scene are impressive...I guess you can go there to see a theater play...but if you like to tango, it is also possible :--))))
