A christmas in Lille
Categorized in North of France
Lille, the capital of Hauts-de-France, undergoes a transformation every year as Christmas approaches, revealing an even more enchanting and magical aspect.
We love the atmosphere of Lille as Christmas approaches because this time of year transforms the city into a magical wonderland.
The facades of the buildings in Old Lille and the Grand Place are illuminated, beautifully showcasing their typical Flemish historical architecture.
If you're lucky enough to stroll through Lille just after a shower, the cobblestone streets of Old Lille will turn into a magnificent mirror reflecting all the lights, adding to the enchanting atmosphere.
Of course, on the Grand Place of Lille, don't miss the Ferris wheel, a true tourist attraction in Lille at Christmas.
Not far from the Grand Place, don't hesitate to visit the Lille Christmas market, but be prepared to wait as the entrance is limited and there is often a queue.
On the Place de l'Opéra, you will find some fairground attractions and be able to admire the magnificent facades of historical buildings such as the Opera House, obviously, but also the Carlton Hotel or the Vieille Bourse, which is our favorite!
