Le Bonbon Lille - Mégane Lourenco

It will no longer be possible to drive down the iconic Rue de la Clef in Lille!

She is one of the unmissable streets of Lille. Between its sublime architecture, typical cobblestones, good small shops, and old-world charm, Rue de la Clef also provides a quick passage between the Grand Place and the beginning of Vieux-Lille. Good news for tourists and strollers who love to wander: starting in May, it will officially become pedestrian. This measure will take effect on May 13, 2024 and has one goal: "to give pedestrians back the street de la Clef contributes to the ambition to further calm the neighborhoods of Vieux-Lille and the Center, in the dynamic of a low-carbon and more sustainable city." Are you a resident? You will need to register your vehicle with the neighborhood town hall of Vieux-Lille in order to circulate and park your car in your own garage. In a word: cars are officially a thing of the past on this street.Old Lille! Or at least, it's starting!
