Arrival and information

The central Grande-Place is just a few minutes' walk from the
gare SNCF
(originally Paris's Gare du Nord, but brought here brick by brick in 1865). Despite being the fifth-largest city in France, the centre of Lille is small enough to walk round and, unless you choose to visit Villeneuve-d'Ascq on the outskirts, you won't even need to use the city's efficient mAİtro system.
The
tourist office
is in place Rihour (Mon-Sat 9.30am-6.30pm, Sun & public hols 10am-noon & 2-5pm; tel 03.20.21.94.21, fax 03.20.21.94.20), ten minutes' walk from the station along rue Faidherbe and through place du ThAİA?tre and place du GAİnAİral-de-Gaulle. Other useful information
