The capital of northern France (Nord Pas de Calais region and Nord departement) and the fourth largest city.
Officialy Lille is only populated by 226,014 inhabitants but its urban and metropolitan area are over 1 million.
The city is next to the Belgian border and siginifiant part of the Lille urban area are in Belgium.

The city reputation was bad, poor, industrial, unemployement, gritty, bad weathier... the city really changed itself into an attractive metropolis.

Wow, thanks Minato, you can really see the heavy Belgian influence in the architecture. If I'd known Lille was so attractive, I would have gone here instead of wasting my time in Brussels.
 
Wow, what a great looking city. Thanks for taking the photos! I had passed through on the highway on the way to the vimy memorial but I was too tired on my drive back to Amsterdam to spend any time in the city. It looked great from the highway though!
 
Lille,France - a good tour...Part One

MK: Good tour and pics from Lille,France showing a neat mix of old and new European style architecture along with features like its transit system.
