The old part of Lille is the heart and soul of Lille. The northeast district of Lille, has successfully preserved the oldest heritage. Most often , people walk because everything is close : the market on the concert place, the upmarket boutiques, the renowned shops like Fred or Meert … but the neighborhood is easy to reach by car, as they are allowed, and the train station and subway are nearby . This is the richest area with ancient constructions built during the nineteenth century . With its cobbled streets, slightly inclined facades, the old Lille conceals architectural treasures : the Opera , Notre Dame de la Treille , the Museum of the Hospice Comtesse. In the pedestrian streets , you will discover tlots of cafes that invite passers-by stop by. Remarkably preserved, we say that you have to pass by the old town ' nose up' to enjoy it.
This part of Lille is now the most upscale and most wanted one, with apartments or houses of 17 or 18th century. The middle-class neighborhood prefer an urban lifestyle close to the countryside and outdoor recreation ! Families, couples and all students find their happiness in mansion with gardens, apartments in the beautiful Rue Royale, with lots of charm. The proximity of the Bois de Boulogne is an added attraction for lovers of jogging and cycling.
