Artwork by Nick Cave (visual/performance artist not musician) and Theo Mercier, and so much more. Art around every corner. A great experience and well worth the trip to Lille!

For sure my favorite cultural place !…read more There's always something to look/listen/taste there ^^ This old train station has been renovated 5 years ago. They host a lot of big exhibitions sometimes very surprising because of the big size of those buildings. An other distinctive feature : this place is made for families (not only of course!) there are always some games and activities for children and parents can play to ^^ On winter they put an ice-skating rink ! sooo fun !! Just in front of the "gare" you will find the "bistro de saint sau" on a lovely old warehouse. It's a famous bar in Lille. There are often some good concerts but it usually ends at midnight. Beers are cheap and tasty, you can also eat (especially for lunch). so have fun !!! http://www.lille3000.eu/gare-saint-sauveur

At sunny times, you also can enjoy the terrace! Whatever you want to drink, the bar will get you a beer, a cocktail or a simple refreshment. FYI, you can also rent the whole place to celebrate something special. They can provide food, drinks, music, etc. A must to consider if you're around after a long walk or just to chill out.

Construit par Philippe le Bon au XV ème siècle, le bâtiment est endommagé au fil de l'histoire par de nombreux incendies. Ce qu'il en reste aujourd'hui témoigne néanmoins de l'architecture gothique et de la suprématie des ducs de Bourgogne sur la ville. Le Palais accueille aujourd'hui l'Office du Tourisme.
