Town hall - Local authority Lille

Many procedures can now be carried out directly online, on the Town Hall website. Take a look before you go to the town hall. It's also a great opportunity to discover a very comprehensive site, rich in information. Very clear, it will guide you perfectly. As for the rest, the Town Hall teams are at your disposal to answer any questions you may have and to assist you. In terms of architecture, the Unesco World Heritage-listed belfry and the rest of the building, with its Art Deco style tinged with Flemish culture, are well worth a visit.

ALFPH is an association dedicated to promoting civic involvement and community life in Lille.

An award committee examines the proposals and enables the creation of a multitude of convivial and supportive initiatives in Lille's 10 neighborhoods.
