Lille
Private Jet Charter

Lille prides itself on producing gifted citizens. Louis Pasteur was from Lille, as was actor Phillipe Noiret and President Charles de Gaulle. De Gaulle’s birthplace is still a popular landmark. But it is pre-war Lille that will take your breath away. Stately historic buildings surround the Grand Place market square. The nearby Cathedral of Lille was started in 1854, but due to wartime damage, wasn’t completed until 1999. And the Lille Citadel is one of the best examples of 17^th century military fortifications. 

There are plenty of historic landmarks to experience in Lille. If you don’t mind heights, start at the top! The Town Hall Belfry dominates Lille from its height of 342 feet. Once you’ve climbed the first 100 steps, you can take the elevator or continue on the steps. The reward is a 360 ° panorama of Lille and even the mountains of Flanders on a clear day! The restored Old Town enchants visitors with its flamboyant 17th century architecture. You can explore at your leisure, or participate in a walking tour with a local guide. As mentioned, the Citadel is an extraordinary military fortification, built by Louis XIV’s genius engineer, Sébastien Vauban. The five-sided fortress influenced many subsequent military buildings, including the modern U.S. Pentagon. As a bonus, the Citadel shares the island with the Lille Zoo. The Zoo features 400 animals representing 80 different species including monkeys, zebras, panthers, and rare birds. Plus it has The Cub Corner, a permanent fun fair for children. France is naturally a haven for foodies! Lille offers many traditional “gastronomique” French restaurants, with a Northern twist. The Belgian influence is strong, and many menus feature Belgian beers and traditional stews. Of course, a picnic with baguettes or pastries from a local bakery is just as authentically French!
