Free Tour Lille: Churches, Squares & Hidden Stories

Have you ever walked through a city and felt like its walls were whispering stories? Welcome to Lille — a city where every brick, church, and plaza has something to say. I’m Donaldo, a Mexican student in Italian Studies at the University of Lille, and I’d love to guide you through the places that make this city unforgettable. 

This isn’t just a history lesson — it’s a walk through time. We’ll explore Lille’s powerful blend of Flemish charm, French elegance, and quiet faith. With a passion for architecture, languages, and hidden corners, I’ll help you see the city like a local (but with a storyteller’s twist). 

🔍 Highlights:

• Lille-Flandres Station – how the railway shaped the city
• Saint-Maurice Church – gothic beauty and resilience
• Opera & Belfry – symbols of pride, power, and art
• Vieille Bourse – books, arches, and public life
• Grand Place – Lille’s beating heart
• Îlot Comtesse – a hidden medieval courtyard
• Rue de la Monnaie + Meert – local flavor and living history
• Notre-Dame-de-la-Treille – a bold mix of old and new
• Place aux Oignons – the perfect final photo and farewell

📍 We’ll end in the picturesque Place aux Oignons, right in the heart of Old Lille.
