The only citadel in France to form a complete star, the citadel of Lille is a jewel of the fortification realized by Vauban.
Nicknamed the queen of citadels, because it is the only one in France to form a complete star, the citadel of Lille is the first great personal achievement of the master of poliorcetics, Vauban, which was entrusted to him by Louis XIV. Dear to Vauban's heart, this jewel of 17th century fortification is still inhabited by the military today. The Royal Gate decorated with the emblems of the French royalty, the Dauphine Gate and the Arsenal are particularly admirable. The vast park that surrounds it is a favorite place for families to stroll.

Ballade très sympa même si nous ne savions pas trop où nous nous aventurions car ça manque de marquage pour rejoindre la fortification. Une belle pause verte de la ville.

Parfait pour un bol d'air
Le parc est très agréable, la balade y est appréciable. Il manque des informations sur l'histoire de ce lieu.

Beau cadre
La citadelle se situe dans un parc touristique bucolique. A côté il y a le citaparc et le zoo donc parfait pour se promener avec les enfants. Il y a des petits sentiers ou faire du jogging et la rivière de la Deule tout autour.
