Oh Lille... Its belfry, its Grand-Place, its old town... All year round, the capital of Hauts-de-France attracts several million visitors in search of the most beautiful places to discover. And maybe you are one of them! Fortunately, le Bonbon is always here to show you the best deals, all across France. We have selected our 3 favorite spots for enjoying the northern city, like a true Lille resident, just a stone's throw away from your hotels Mercure Lille Marcq En Barœul and Mercure Lille Centre Grand-Place.


Our favorite spots in Lille

La Grosse Madeleine

Don't worry, this is not an awful nickname given to a poor soul.To one of the inhabitants of the northern metropolis, not by the affectionate name given to the Church of Saint Mary Magdalene, located north of Old Lille. Why? Because of its stout silhouette, unique in the religious landscape of Lille. Closed to the public for nearly 40 years, the building was finally deconsecrated and rehabilitated as an art center a few years ago. A real gem! We love its original architecture, its richly decorated heart, and the monumental installations that take up residence there, like that of Indian artist Subodh Gupta, currently on display.

Wazemmes covered market

If there is one place to visit for those who love good products, it is the Wazemmes Market Halls. A true gourmet temple, this covered market delights all Lille residents, but also tourists! We love its succession of colorful, gourmet stalls, with spicy flavors and the sweet smell of roasted chicken, but especially its good deals. It's the perfect place if you want to bring back a few good Lille delicacies for your loved ones, or enjoy a delicious welsh leaning on a counter.

The Citadel

A true green lung of Lille, the Citadel is a vast park where we love to stroll along the fortified ramparts by Vauban, have a picnic, or even grab a drink. It's a chance to get a breath of fresh air right in the heart of Lille, but also to say hello to the zoo animals or, for the more adventurous, to try some tree climbing …
