« Lille is probably the most accessible destination from anywhere in the world »
Luc Doublet, Chairman of Doublet Design.
« It’s a place with a good quality of life, both professionally and for the family. Everything is possible here. In recent years Lille has become cleaner, lovelier, bigger, livelier, more visible and even more of a capital… »
Nicolas Delaporte, Air France’s Regional Manager for Greater Lille & the North
« I live in the centre and I love just to walk in ‘Vieux Lille’. It’s absolutely charming and this is what I would recommend to any visitor. A tip: always wear a sturdy pair of walking shoes… because of the cobblestones! »
Philippe Vasseur, President of Réseau Alliances & World Forum Lille.
«It’s a pleasant lively place with an intense economic, social & cultural life. Lille is a very
European city: 35 minutes from Brussels & 1h20 from London, not forgetting Paris just 1 hour away. Whether it’s for setting up a corporate headquarters or organising a big economic event, Lille has everything going for it. It’s not just a question of providing the right infrastructure; it’s the way everything is done to facilitate their stay. The quality of welcome here in the north is not just a legend, it’s a reality. »
Frédéric Lambin, Président du Lille Grand Palais.
«I like to quote what outsiders say about Lille: a very lively city, very hospitable, beautiful and welcoming, young and festive. Lille is also a European crossroads, near London, Brussels & Paris, easy access by air, train and road and with a convention centre in the centre of town, what more can you wish for?.. When I need to clear my mind or when I am looking for new ideas, I go for a stroll in one of Lille’s many museums – they are ideal places for creative ideas. I like to get of the beaten track to enjoy the city in all its diversity: a drink or meal on a Sunday night in the Wazemmes quarter with its open and frank attitude helps me to think outside the box! »
