Trip to Lille, France 🇫🇷

It was a trip to Lille, France. Our first stop was Grand Place (Place du Général de Gaulle), the heart of Lille’s historic center. The square is surrounded by stunning 😍 architecture, with the Vieille Bourse (Old Stock Exchange) standing out as a beautiful example of 17th-century Flemish Renaissance style. We loved taking pictures 📸 here, whether it was of the grand facades, the bustling market stalls, or simply the impressive columns and statues. It’s the perfect spot to get a sense of the city’s charm and beauty 🙌 📍Grand Place, Place du Général de Gaulle, 59000 Lille, France We then strolled down to Vieux Lille, the old town, which was a highlight of our trip ✨The cobbled streets, colorful buildings, and quaint boutiques make this area a photographer’s paradise 📸We explored the Place du Palais Rihour, with its imposing 15th-century palace, and wandered through narrow alleys filled with charm. One of our favorite pictures was taken under the archway of Le Palais des Beaux-Arts, a stunning 19th-century building with an impressive collection of art. 📍Vieux Lille, 59000 Lille, France Place du Palais Rihour, Place Rihour, 59000 Lille, France We also visited La Citadelle, a stunning fortress built in the 17th century by Vauban. It’s a bit outside the city center but worth the short walk or tram 🚋 ride. The surrounding park is perfect for a relaxing stroll, and the Citadelle itself provided an impressive backdrop for our photos 📸 We snapped some shots by the moat and the tall walls of the fortress, and even though it’s not as tourist-heavy as some other places, we found it to be a peaceful and picturesque spot 🙌 📍La Citadelle, 59000 Lille, France For something more modern, we explored Lille’s modern art scene with a visit to the Lille Modern Art Museum (LaM), just outside the city center. The contemporary architecture of the museum itself is striking, and inside, you’ll find a fascinating collection of modern art, including works by Picasso and Braque. We took advantage of the museum’s outdoor spaces, which offer great opportunities to capture unique photos 📸with sculptures and green spaces 🌳 📍Lille Modern Art Museum, 1 Allée du Musée, 59650 Villeneuve-d’Ascq, France Lille is an incredibly photogenic city, full of history, culture, and unique architectural styles 😍 With so many wonderful spots to take pictures and a relaxed pace, I would highly recommend visiting, whether you’re a photography enthusiast or simply looking to enjoy one of France’s most underrated gems 🙌🙌🙌 #europetrip #vacation #travel
