Lille

Lille is the capital of the Hauts-de-France region in northern France, near the border with Belgium. A cultural hub and bustling university city today, it was once an important merchant center of French Flanders, and many Flemish influences remain. The historic center, Vieux Lille, is characterised by 17th-century brick town houses, cobbled pedestrian streets and the large central square, Grand Place.
