Travelling in Lille with a Car Hire

A great way to start your visit to Lille is by checking out the citadel in the heart of the city. Built on an island on the Deule River, the Citadel was built in the 1600s and is an icon of the city. Drive your hire car across to the island, and explore the fortress, from which you will also get a great view of the surrounding area.

A short drive southeast from the citadel in your rental car, you can visit another of Lille’s most famous buildings, the Veille Bourse. Once home to the stock exchange, the building was constructed in the 17th century and is a fine example of French architecture from that time. The courtyard within the building often features various stalls and handicrafts, and is one of the most popular attractions in the city.

Jump in your hire car and head further south, to Vieux Lille, the oldest part of the city. Featuring historical buildings and cobbled streets, the area also contains many cafes and restaurants, making it a great place to stop off for a coffee or a meal.

Being a historical city with a large student population Lille has many museums and galleries, some of which are among the best in France. The Fine Arts Museum (Palais des Beaux Arts) is regarded as second only to the Louvre in Paris, and other notable places to visit are the Natural History Museum and the Museum of Religious Art, both highly regarded places to museums to spend a few hours or even a whole day.
