Tours of the City
The tourist office (tel: 0891 56 20 04) organises a daily guided walk (except Sunday) at 1500. There is also a 50-minute minibus tour of the city, taking in the Old Stock Exchange, the Opera, the Comtesse Hospice, the Charles de Gaulle Museum, the Petit Quinquin, the Paris Gate and the Citadel (the old part of central Lille). On Saturday, the tourist office organises tours on segway, an original and ecological way to discover the city. The focus is on green spaces and monuments.
Or take a self guided tour of the city with Allo Visit (tel: 0892 683 314), which provides audio commentary direct to your mobile. There are seven stages of about three minutes each, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
