The Grand'Place de Lille, a charming architectural ensemble. Situated in the heart of the city center, the Grand'Place, also known as Place du Général de Gaulle (Charles de Gaulle was born in Lille in 1890), is a pleasant place to have a coffee. Used as a market in the Middle Ages, it sometimes hosts festive events such as combats between knights. The market is well-known among the people of Lille and is the heart of the Lille street market every year in September. Three important monuments can be found there: in the center, the column of the Goddess commemorates the siege of Lille by the Austrians in 1792. It was created in 1845 by Théophile Bra, to whom we also owe two bas-reliefs on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. The Vieille Bourse, which is made up of 24 identical houses around an arcaded courtyard, is an architectural masterpiece, considered to be the most beautiful monument in the city. Continue your tour by admiring the classical facade of the Théâtre du Nord, located on the site of the former Grand'Garde, built in 1717. You will also notice the sun of Louis XIV, carved into a triangular frontispiece, and the coats of arms of France and Lille on either side. A timeless setting, just a five-minute walk from your Première Classe Lille Center hotel.

Lille Grand Palais is a popular destination for business tourism.

Not far from Lille's two train stations, it is located at the crossroads of the capital cities of Paris, London and Brussels, and as such benefits from a unique vitality. There are three structures in the event park: the Palais des Congrès, the exhibition center and the Zenith Arena. Each of these spaces is fully modular and each can be reserved for private use and adapted to suit the specific needs of your projects. For the past twenty years, Lille Grand Palais has organized more than 300 events every year. With a program of events aimed at both the general public and professionals (apprenticeship and work-linked training fair, job fair, etc.), it offers to support your projects by providing quality expertise and know-how. Its team also offers sustainable development solutions around its events, in order to promote an eco-responsible approach (such as offering regional seasonal products, in conjunction with allocated service providers and suppliers, etc.): a great way to combine business with pleasure.
