In the heart of Lille, the Palais des Beaux-Arts stands out behind a magnificent fountain with water jets from which springs Eugène Dodeigne's famous "Group of Three" sculpture. It houses the richest collection in France after that of the Louvre, in a sumptuous setting of characteristic 19th-century architecture. It includes French and European paintings (Rubens, Van Dyck, Goya, Delacroix, etc.), sculptures (Rodin, Claudel, Carpeaux, etc.), ceramics, and other media such as a large cabinet of drawings (including 40 sheets by Raphael) and relief plans of towns in the region, fortified by Vauban in the 17th century. In 1997, renovation work was carried out in the basement, creating a room for temporary international exhibitions, an auditorium, a library and educational workshops.

With its late 19th century architecture, the Natural History Museum has become a must-see. It offers permanent and temporary exhibitions throughout the year, as well as workshops and evening events for young and old alike, promoting a rich and varied cultural heritage. Skeletons of sperm whales, whales and rorqual whales float above visitors, suspended from the magnificent beams of the main gallery, while on the floor, animal scenes illustrate the richness and great diversity of species.

[Since 2 April 2024, the Museum has closed its doors to the public in order to accommodate a vast renovation and expansion project]. Behind this facade with its many architectural influences, discover works of taxidermy and other relics of the evolution of the Earth and its inhabitants. Among them are life-size reproductions of dinosaurs, impressive skeletons of land and sea animals, and a rich collection of insects, birds and mammals, including a polar bear, considered one of the museum's centrepieces and whose presence evokes current environmental issues. The geology area will take you back 600 million years to the present day, revealing what the North of France was like then and tracing its evolution to the present day. In addition to this vast permanent collection, the Natural History Museum offers temporary exhibitions, workshops and themed evenings for young and old all year round.

As a showcase for the history of the Institut Pasteur de Lille and a focus for current scientific research, this museum was born out of a desire to celebrate the scientific work of our researchers. It gives everyone access to the collections of the Institut Pasteur de Lille and thus to the history of those who built it. The Institut Pasteur de Lille museum pays tribute to its founding fathers, talented researchers and humanists whose work has saved millions of lives around the world: Louis Pasteur, Albert Calmette and Camille Guérin. The aesthetics of this contemporary exhibition come alive throughout: the museum becomes a place of discovery, astonishment, learning and wonder. Combining art and science, history and modernity, new technologies and poetry, the Institut Pasteur museum in Lille is an undeniable source of scientific mediation, particularly for young people, teenagers and children. Stimulating interest in science, research and health is a major concern of the Institut Pasteur de Lille.

The Citadele of Lille, built on the orders of Louis XIV following his conquest of the city, was the work of Sébastien Leprestre, Marquis de Vauban. Its construction lasted three years, from 1667 to 1670, and it was originally a small town surrounded by five bastions forming a star (a circumvolution 2,200 metres long), for which sixty million bricks had to be baked and three million blocks of stone and seventy thousand feet of sandstone extracted from the quarries. Situated on the border with Flanders, it formed part of a double line of strongholds between Gravelines, Dunkirk and Maubeuge. It was the famous "Pré Carré", designed by Vauban and comprising 28 fortified towns, whose relief plans are on display at the Palais des Beaux-Arts. The royal gate at the entrance bears an inscription in Latin praising the glory of the Sun King. As the site is under army control, visits to the heart of the Citadelle can only be booked through the Lille Tourist Office.

It features numerous areas for sports enthusiasts: The Bois de Boulogne with its loops and wellness trails, ideal for jogging, as well as muscle strengthening and stretching equipment are available to the general public. You'll also find accro-Lille, a tree-climbing course for young and old alike.

Located in the heart of Old Lille, the museum is housed in the hospital founded in 1237 by Countess Jeanne de Flandre, which did not close until 1939. The current buildings date from the 15th, 17th and 18th centuries. They consist of a paneled barrel-vaulted patients' ward, a chapel decorated with the coats of arms of the hospital's main benefactors, and the Augustinian sisters' community buildings arranged around two courtyards and a medicinal garden. Since 1962, they have been used as a showcase for paintings, tapestries, carved wood, furniture and earthenware from the region, evoking the interior of a 17th-century Flemish religious house.
