This palace remains one of Lille's rare vestiges of flamboyant Gothic architecture. It now houses the Tourist Office.

The Rihour Palace is a reminder of the Dukes of Burgundy. Indeed, it was in 1453 that Philip the Good (1396-1467) began to build it on the marshy islet of the Rihoult, and it was completed twenty years later by his son, Charles the Bold. Although the main staircase and the conclave room are the only survivors of the 1916 fire, this palace remains one of the rare vestiges of flamboyant gothic architecture in Lille: admire the slender arches in the guard room, the chapel and the sacristy with their superb stained glass and mullioned windows

Très beau palais
Très beau palais abritant l'office du tourisme au rez de chaussée. Le bâtiment tranche avec le reste de l'architecture lilloise et est intéressant à visiter.

Magnifique édifice situé sur la place du même nom et à deux pas de la Grand Place. Nous y avons visité une belle expo sur Gaumont (gratuite).

Superbe monument qu'il ne faut pas hésiter à aller voir car il abrite l'Office du tourisme, mais une fois que vous avez pris vos renseignements, n'hésitez pas, jouez les explorateur et prenez les escaliers à droite (aux plafonds gothiques c'est dire s'ils ne sont pas jeunes) pour monter jusqu'à la salle du conclave au sol façon marqueterie en pierre.
