We were out of season so only permanent collection open. Slightly disconcerting that you need to take the metro and a bus to get there- but view it as preparation for the artistic feast that awaits you. I enjoyed the Leger and of course the Modigliani and the Alexander Calder mobile in the grounds. Visit the cafe - we had an excellent fish and coconut curry
Very nice museum, I saw Nogushi exhibition, retrospectiv, and I must say I discovered an artist, though I don't like much of his work;, anyway nice presentation, worth seeing! The permanent collection shows contemporary works from famous artists, or "art brut" less known ones. Nice shop, nice café, garden.. All in all you can enjoy a full afternoon forgetting the ordinary life..
Okay, this has some 'big hitters' Picasso, Braque, etc. But the really interesting thing is the story of Art Brut, which is explained during the exhibition of the permanent collection. I didn't get it all, but isn't that the point? Be warned though, some pictures in the museum contain ladies breasts, uncovered. Google won't allow me to show images of these and if these will offend you probably best not to go. It is well worth a visit but both the Palais in Lille and the Piscine in Roubaix are more accessible in multiple senses.
It is a really nice museum. The temporary exhibitions were the main attraction. They also spoke English, which was a big +. It is a bit far away, so you need to take either a bus and metro, or a car.
Very nice experience in Lille on a hot day. Calm and not too many people. There's a restaurant that we ignored. We visited the permanent exhibition only which was very impressive. There are lockers for your stuff.
Wonderful exhibition space. Good permanent exhibits. Saw the I Noguchi exhibition. Fantastic. Lovely cafe too. Easy to get to from Lille centre.
A very limited permanent collection with little in the way of curation makes this a non-essential visit. Unfortunately, upon visiting, two temporary exhibitions were not on which greatly impacted the visit. There were some respected artists (Picasso, Leger, Braques) but that doesn’t make a great museum. Café was very respectable and had a nice outdoor space. The gardens — which are free to enter — are the best part of the entire visit, with some fantastic sculptures on display. For a museum that’s not in the city centre, I would not recommend as an essential unless you had a particular interest in either the gardens or any temporary exhibitions.
The LaM museum near Lille 🇫🇷 is amazing. Also the exhibition ‘Paul Klee - Betweens two worlds’ that makes us (re)discover the art of Paul Klee from an angle as intimate as it is fascinating.

Attending a Champions League game at Stade Pierre-Mauroy was nothing short of an electrifying experience. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was absolutely buzzing with excitement. The passion of the fans, the chants echoing through the stadium, and the vibrant energy in the stands created a truly unforgettable environment. The design of the stadium is fantastic, it offers great visibility from nearly every seat, and the retractable roof ensures the match can go on smoothly no matter the weather. The sound of the crowd felt amplified, adding to the intensity of the game. Watching a high-stakes match in such a hyped setting made me feel completely immersed in the action. The mix of world-class football and the lively ambiance made it an awesome experience I’d recommend to anyone, whether you're a hardcore fan or just looking to soak up the magic of European football. If you ever get the chance to catch a Champions League game here, don’t hesitate. You won’t regret it!
Beautiful arena and really helpful staff (especially when helping us find our seats 😄). The plastic seats weren’t very comfortable in the 34°C heat—our backsides ended up all sweaty. The drink stand directly in front of our seats was a bit frustrating, as its sign completely blocked our view of the stage during the opening act. Still, overall, we had a positive experience.
Exceptional atmosphere, Virage Est does NOT stop cheering LOSC up for the whole match, it's amazing!, there is another group of supporters, much smaller though, but non stop singing, Rijsel Virage Sud. The stadium itself is modern, clean and nice, only disadvantage is that they DO NOT sell beer, only 0.0% unfortunately.
Great venue for a concert. Easy to park and get to the stadium, and also exit. We went to see Ed Sheeran and Myles Smith. Brilliant night. Loved Lille too
Amazing Concert - Well managed in terms of security, food&Drinks, cleanliness….
Awful transport links to the centre of Lille. No metro running following an event where 60k fans were attending. The stadium looks good.from outside but pretty grey inside.
Lovely stadium and is very different to anything I've ever seen before. We felt very safe in and around the stadium as there were a lot of police and security and everyone got checked. Very modern stadium inside and out. Well worth going to watch a football match at Lille.
I was there for the concert of Bruce Springsteen and the stunning thing is that since it was raining they covered it. wonderful venue

Perfect for having some nature and calm time.
(Translated by Google) The lake is magnificent, beautiful walks to take (Original) Le lac est magnifique de belles balades à faire
(Translated by Google) Severe lack of places compared to the park which is really very good Unusable on weekends (Original) Manque cruel de places par rapport au parc qui est vraiment très bien Impraticable le week end
(Translated by Google) Large car park well located but not secure, vehicles often vandalized, I was entitled to it on Saturday June 4. The surrounding merchants have been asking for a long time for the parking lot to be secure (cameras, etc.) but nothing happens. (Original) Grand parking bien situé mais pas sécurisé, véhicules souvent vandalisés, j'y ai eu droit samedi 4 juin. Les commerçants aux alentours demandent depuis longtemps pour que le parking soit sécurisé (caméras,...) mais rien n'y fait.
(Translated by Google) Thanks to Riki for giving this parking lot back its original name (Original) Merci à Riki d’avoir redonné à ce parking son nom d’origine
(Translated by Google) I used this parking lot on my way to visit the Museum. Arrived around midday, no problem finding a place. On the other hand, when I left the museum around 3 p.m., the parking lot was full and people were milling around. The problem is probably the fact that it is used both by visitors to the museum and by walkers who want to enjoy the Heron Park. And it was very nice this winter Sunday. The parking lot itself is in relative condition. (Original) J'ai utilisé ce parking en allant visiter le Musée. Arrivé sur le temps de midi, aucun problème pour trouver une place. Par contre, à ma sortie du musée vers 15h, le parking était plein et les gens tournaient. Le problème est probablement le fait qu'il est utilisé tant par les visiteurs du musée que par les promeneurs qui veulent profiter du parc du Héron. Et il faisait très beau ce dimanche d'hiver. Le parking lui-même est dans un état relatif.
(Translated by Google) Parking too small. Lots of walkers in the corners. No need to hope for a daytime spot on the weekend. (Original) Parking trop petit. Beaucoup de promeneurs dans les coins. Pas la peine d'espérer avoir une place en journée le week-end.

We had an amazing time here. Elodie and Péroline helped us with a guided tour in English, which we really appreciated. The place is tranquil, inviting and it feels like the time stopped there. The animals were also lovely and the restaurant was good! The coffee was nice, too! We would visit again.
This was a pleasant day trip away from the busy city centers we had visited during the week. Friendly staff, the food was good, interesting exhibits. The 12yr old with us loved it as well.
Wonderful place! Exceptional to visit with kids: educational and simply enjoyable!
Fantastic hidden gem of Lille! Lovely restored buildings, lovely restaurant. Lovely lady at reception even went the extra mile and helped us book a taxi despite being busy at the time. It’s a fantastic place to escape the tourist traps and crowds of Lille! Tip - get a taxi from acsq station as the 30 min walk is sometimes without a pavement down busy roads.
I loved this place. My ancestors are from this area and it was a great way to get a sense of what their life would have been like. We came on the day of their annual Feast of the Knights and had a fantastic time. I’m surprised it was only 5€. I wish France had more museums like this one with many crafts and activities for young children.
Really nice open sir museum. Lots of activities e.g. traditionally craftsmanship by the blacksmith, woodwork etc. The houses all have a small discription what makes it unique and where it comes from. Lots of animals as well with quite a lot of local breeds. Lots of space for the kids to run around and get rid of their energy. If that is not enogh then let them try the maze! There places to buy food, but you can also bring your own pinic. All in all well worth a visit.
great reconstruction / reconstitution of flemmish houses and usages. (I'm a Flemmish woman)
Super value and a great find for a family looking for a day's entertainment. The houses and contents were interesting enough but we spent hours playing with the old fashioned wooden games. The kids also loved the craft item they made at the workshop.

Using our C'art card we were able to go to see the Leonardo da Vinci exhibition. Very interesting and interactive. Highly recommend.
An interesting museum both for kids and me. Attention to activities: they are mostly destinantes to kids under 10 y.o., and it’s better to check hours for teenagers and adults.
Not much to see, other than relaxing planetarium which will makes you fall asleep
I love the planetarium, it's so relaxing I almost fell asleep !

Expert guides tell the story of Jameson in a recreated distillery scene with tastings and dining.
Slide 1 of 8
It was incredible experience. Our tour guide was amazing. First you get free welcome drink - you have 3 options from Jameson (Jameson with lime and ginger is amazing). Then you go to first room, it’s about history of Jameson. Second room is about how to make Jameson and on third you learn about differences, how to smell and taste different Jamesons. With this guide, it was really amazing and I could stay longer than 45 minutes.
My wife and I took this tour on a Monday morning a few hours before our flight home and had a wonderful time. Our tour guide was very animated and obviously loved his job! Great tour through history all the way to current time. Definitely recommend this tour for any whiskey aficionados or anyone with just a taste for Jameson.
I paid about $26 for the Jameson Distillery tour and it was worth every penny. They start with a really cool 3D projector story about the history and how Jameson is made, then you move into a tasting room where you try four different Jamesons and learn how to properly smell and taste whiskey. It truly feels like a world-class experience. The premium ones were noticeably smoother (whiskey by itself definitely grows hair on your chest 😂), but it was fun, informative, and delicious. After the tasting, you get a drink included — they already have a bar set up with several cocktail options, and if you want another drink afterward you can buy more. The tour guide was incredible — funny, knowledgeable, and made it feel like he actually believed every part of the history. It was so good I found myself thinking, “Do y’all hire? I could work here too.” The staff overall was extremely friendly and helpful. They’ll even hold your bags if you’re coming straight from the airport like I was. There’s merchandise at the end if you want to shop, and the whole experience is just a lot of fun from start to finish. I would 100% come back and I’d tell anyone visiting Dublin to add this to their trip.
What an unforgettable experience at the Jameson Distillery! We opted for the Secret Whiskey Package and savored every moment. The tour was a delightful blend of history, craftsmanship, and fun, with fascinating insights into the company’s founder and the art of whiskey making. The highlight? Learning the skills of whiskey tasting, followed by a truly delicious sampling experience. Despite the bustling crowd of fellow travelers, the staff made us feel so special and welcome. We loved every minute and can’t wait to return!
Had a fantastic tasting tour on my second visit to this iconic Irish distillery. The guide’s deep knowledge and entertaining presentation made the experience memorable. It’s no wonder Jameson remains one of the world’s top selling whiskeys. Highly recommended!
Exactly everything you'd expect from a distillery tour. Great tour guide, samples of the whisky, and the best ambiance. All the employees were stellar and very nice to chat with. You can also purchase exclusive bottles you can't get anywhere else in the world.
This is one of the best distillery tour I’ve ever done! I’d recommend it to anyone visiting Dublin. Our tour guide was really informative and had a great demote of knowledge about the history of Jameson’s. I’m not usually a Whiskey drinker but after trying a Jamesons, Ginger Ale and Lime in the bar I am converted.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Jamison Distillery. I went with my husband and my daughter. It was very informative and quite interesting. There were several experiences during the tour. We tasted whiskeys that we hadn't tried before. Our new favorite one is Black Barrel. We've bought a bottle now that we're back home and have shared it with a neighbor. He is now a fan! I recommend going on this tour. It's fun, educational, and it even has a cute little shop inside.

Beautiful for a walk, ride picnic....
Perfect natural place for spending time
(Translated by Google) Lac du Héron is a beautiful place to take long or short walks. The domain is very well maintained and many runners and cyclists find their way there. So it can be busy but definitely worth it! (Original) Lac du Héron is een prachtige plaats om lange of korte wandelingen te maken. Het domein is zeer goed onderhouden en heel wat lopers en fietsers vinden de weg daar naar toe. Het kan dus wel druk zijn maar zeker de moeite waard!
(Translated by Google) A very nice place for a walk around the lake. The paths are well laid out for a family stroll. (Original) Endroit tres sympa poyr se promener autiur du lac. Les alles sont bien amenagees pour une balade en famille
(Translated by Google) Nice place for a walk, but watch out for the bikes, who think they can do whatever they want in this city. They're dangerous and don't respect anything. They should be banned from this place so they can enjoy the luxury bike paths that have appeared all over the MEL. That's where they belong! Not in a park where PEDESTRIANS are walking! Also watch out for dog owners who don't keep their mastiffs on leashes. My partner was attacked by one of them. Where are the authorities to monitor all these people who think they can do whatever they want? Last piece of advice: avoid going there alone during off-peak periods, because there are always some strange people. So you have to stay vigilant. (Original) Bel endroit pour se promener mais attention aux vélos, qui se croient tout permis dans cette ville . Ils sont dangereux et ne respectent rien. Ils devraient être bannis de ce lieu pour profiter des pistes de luxe apparues partout dans la MEL. C est la qu est leur place ! Pas dans un parc ou se promènent des PIÉTONS! Attention aussi aux propriétaires de chiens qui n attachent pas leurs molosses. Mon compagnon a été agressé par l un d entre eux. Ou sont les autorités pour surveiller toute cette population qui se pense tout permis ? Dernier conseil : eviter d y aller seule lors des periodes creuses, car il y a toujours de droles de zigs. Il faut donc rester vigilant(e)
(Translated by Google) The largest natural space in the metropolis and also the one where you will see the most birds, so don't forget your binoculars! It's beautiful in all seasons! The tour of the lake via the nature reserve takes around an hour on foot and you can extend the route via Forest or the Marchenelles hill. Several possible starting points: Quanta farm, it's the simplest, Héron farm (not much space in the parking lot) or Asnapio. Be careful not to confuse Lac du Héron which is very large with the various small lakes which are near the LAM museum! (Original) Le plus vaste espace naturel de la métropole et aussi celui où vous verrez le plus d'oiseaux alors n'oubliez pas vos jumelles !C'est beau en toute saison ! Le tour du lac en passant par la réserve naturelle prend environ une heure à pieds et vous pouvez rallonger l'itinéraire en passant par Forest ou par la colline des Marchenelles. Plusieurs points de départ possibles : ferme Quanta, c'est le plus simple, ferme du Héron (pas bcp de place sur le parking ) ou Asnapio. Attention à ne pas confondre la lac du Héron qui est très grand avec les différents petits lacs qui sont près du musée du LAM !

Especially on weekends and from 9:00 a.m. The trails are well maintained and the walk includes the surrounding farms selling local and seasonal products. (Original) Une magnifique balade autour du lac. Parfait pour promener les chiens, cependant, il y a beaucoup de monde. Surtout le week-end et dès 9h00.

(Translated by Google) A great time with the family. Tip: if you have never visited the park, arrive just before 2:00 p.m. to take the big guided tour. The guide Mathias knew how to keep us in suspense until the end of the visit. It makes the learning done at school concrete. We ended with a family egg painting activity with very adorable and approachable animators. The little extra, the smile and enthusiasm of the lady at reception.

The reception suggested to us from the start what there was to see & do to complete the experience & prepare our route. Great visits to the two mills as the crowds allowed. In case of crowds, you will have to choose only one mill on a guided tour & perhaps plan to wait in the VR room. Enough to further discover the heritage of the region & remember life in the 18th-19th century.

And the youngest were also happy with this visit. From 5 years old. I recommend! (Original) Nous avons passé la matinée dans ce musée du terroir de Villeneuve d'Ascq en juillet. Bel accueil des groupes. Nous avons pu participer à différents ateliers,: fabrique de gauffres du nord, comment laver son linge. Visite des métiers d antan, de la cuisine avec la chicorée, le pain de sucre....et le poêle. Très intéressant...on apprend pas mal de choses également. Je recommande vivement mais avec un guide c est mieux. Il est possible de manger sur la pelouse. Les enfants sont aussi très bien accueillis. Et les plus jeunes étaient aussi contents de cette visite. Dès 5ans. Je recommande !

(Translated by Google) Magnificent 17th century residence, built in 1661 probably on the foundations of a medieval castle, this building benefited from a first conservation restoration by EPALE, in the 1980s, then was completely rehabilitated under the control of the architect Salembier. It is a typical Flanders architecture, with sparrow steps and predominantly bricks, Lezennes stone window frames and sandstone bases. Its restoration is completely successful. The east wing has disappeared. The basement houses an archaeological museum.
