We don't feel like being in the heart of Lille because of the calm it reigns. In summer, the terrace is a real plus and is probably one of the most pleasant in the city. A relaxing moment with a fresh beer, a coffee or a tasty fruit juice.

The Cinéma cinema has three fully equipped rooms in digital surroundings. Two modest and another respectable size where 3 D can fully express itself. Far from mastodons multiplexes, it is good to find ourselves in this old cinema, first to offer the 3 D HFR in Thiérache! In the lobby you can admire old projectors and choose your sweets, drinks and pop-corn. Films are most often in national output and regularly take the lead.

A real dynamic cinema. Bravo!

In this office, you will find something other than torturers or phone-tue phones, on the contrary it is at the break that you will come to drink or eat. The brewery is made up of English pubs and duplicated in the same way throughout France (the chain has been present from north to south since 1990). The city's students and employees come to eat among other salads, pizzas, hamburgers or flammeküeches, and for sports lovers: broadcast on television screens scattered throughout the room. In the summer, the terrace of the bar is very good for sunbathing.

By Royal, it is a new bar that has already carved its reputation in the famous Royal Street of the centre of Lille. A terrace packed with large bands of friends coming over the evening before a small bar with benches and tables… polynomial. And the consumer can choose to take various drinks: beer, wine, etc. The friendly servers and who do not hesitate to be trained by the music give you a great smile. Large mirrors look like a large room in the ground floor bar, which hides a basement in which there is, among other things, a game of darts…

Conviviality guaranteed in this 100% British tea room! The specialty of the house? The pies of course! The most famous one is the traditional beef and carrot pie cooked with English beer!

As for the decoration, it's offbeat and charming as can be. The little extra? The grocery counter to take a bit of England with you. An address where you can chat with friends from breakfast to snack time!

Wines, cocktails, music and concerts, local produce and planks to share, all sprinkled with inspiration from the four corners of the globe (and the Caribbean in particular): that's the recipe that's been working in Ault since the opening of Fil Rouge!
