Fun things to do in Villeneuve d'Ascq: 11 fun attractions and activities

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.

A natural park with beautiful lake, birds & their songs, horses and lots…Any person who loves nature, cycling, walking, running or bird photography this is the perfect place for him/her!

One of the great place for walking, running, cycling, picnic with friends & family. Some people also do fishing sometimes with the permission, I mean buying the fishing licence. You can do good nature photography also, because there are nice birds too! I think, due to the existence of this lovely natural park, I could able to survive in this county till now! Thanks to Vd'A community & French Gov't for this nice park.

Great park! Great for a walk, run, bike ride, dog's walk and restaurant right in the middle for a quick coffee or espresso. Beautiful sightseeing all the birds, horses and peaceful.

Good place for running, enjoying picnic with family & friends, nice view, lots of duck & birds, thers a pony club for learning horse riding, but this park needed to be more clean to get the 5star marking.

In need of an escape from daily life? Well, this is a very nice park to visit and be at.

Park is nice but in summer it's too crowded

Big and colourful parc during autumn and very crowded when you have a sunny day!

(Translated by Google) Magnificent exhibition, the works are stunningly beautiful, really go there! (Original) Magnifique exposition, les œuvres sont d'une beauté renversante , vraiment allez-y !

At first sight it looks like nothing but when you start walking through the park and getting absorbed by it’s surroundings and energy, you begin to feel the peace that surrounds it. A dozen of lovely and creative designs and spaces marked with a little bit of a story. Walking through each symbol and reading through its little stories makes it more interesting as you wish to go to the next stop for more. Note for more details: The Mallet-Stevens gardens constitute a haven of greenery, relaxation and leisure in the heart of the district Beaumont, open to all residents. They bear the name of the architect who designed Villa Cavrois, an emblematic building classified as a historic monument, located nearby. By housing a playground, thematic gardens, a multi-purpose room, a green theater and a landscaped car park, the surface area of ​​2.5 hectares is an ideal setting for everyone (resident, walker, association, artist, leisure center ...) engages in numerous and varied activities. Hobbies, cultural and artistic activities, awareness of nature, ecology... the vocation of gardens Mallet-Stevens is wide. They are both a natural space and a quality living environment. Fun courses are designed for young people. Four themed gardens: the wetland, the vegetable garden, the agricultural garden and the bee garden are sources of numerous lessons. The design of the Mallet-Stevens gardens leaves a prominent place for plant and tree heritage, ecology, biodiversity and remarkable architecture. Their development was entrusted to the landscape architect firm Urba Folia, the company Norenvert and Bois et Loisirs.

Very modern wooden architecture. Not a huge park but has some rides for kids and some vegetable garden. There is also a book reserve with free books (mostly french).

Perfect place to relax and take some beautiful pictures. If you come here in Autumn, you will witness different shade of nature with golden and red leaves around the ground. The park is also a perfect spot to take some good pictures with it's artistic beauty.

Lovely please to spend time with family. Very tip top & nicely organized.

Very beautiful and quiet parc in Croix. Recommended

Lovely parc for kids and adults. With a playground and a vegetable pad. Nearby visit the Cavrois house, a must in art deco architecture.

Beautiful small garden, clean and well maintained

Only open to the public on Wednesday afternoon

(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. (Original) Un très bon moment en famille. Conseil : si vous n'avez jamais fait le parc arrivez juste avant 14:00 pour faire la grande visite guidée. Le guide Mathias a su nous tenir en haleine jusqu'à la fin de la visite. Ça rend concret les apprentissages faits à l'école. On a fini par une activité familiale peinture à base d'oeuf avec des animateurs très adorables et abordables. Le petit plus, le sourire et l'engouement de la dame de l'accueil.

Nice

(Translated by Google) [Guided & free tours] A visit animated by the diversity of supports: VR presentation, guided tours of the functional oil mill & the dormant flour mill & permanent exhibition. 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. (Original) [Visites guidées & libre] Une visite animée par la diversité des supports : présentation VR, visites guidées du moulin à huile fonctionnel & du moulin à farine en sommeil & expo permanente. L'accueil nous a proposé d'entrée ce qu'il y avait à voir & à faire pour compléter l'expérience & préparer notre parcours. Chouettes visites des deux moulins car l'affluence le permettait. En cas de foule, vous devrez choisir un seul moulin en visite guidée & peut-être prévoir de l'attente en salle de VR. De quoi découvrir encore le patrimoine de la région & se rappeler la vie du 18e-19e.

(Translated by Google) Very rich museum, very stocked with materials and rich in explanations, mills which can be visited on the site, a great moment to rediscover the milling of yesteryear My photos to give you an idea of ​​the site The keys to the museum were handed over to the city of Villeneuve d'Ascq on September 17, 2022 during an official and festive ceremony in the presence of Mr. Bruggeman, the Mayor of Villeneuve d'Ascq, Gérard Caudron, the city's elected officials and enthusiastic spectators (Original) Très riche musée, très fourni en matériels et riche d'explications, moulins qui se visitent sur le site, un chouette moment de redécouverte de la meunerie d'antan Mes photos pour vous faire une idée du site Les clés du musée ont été remises à la ville de Villeneuve d'Ascq le 17 septembre 2022 lors d'une cérémonie officielle et festive en présence de Monsieur Bruggeman, Monsieur le Maire de Villeneuve d'Ascq, Gérard Caudron, les élus de la ville et des spectateurs enthousiastes

(Translated by Google) Villeneuve d'Ascq is undoubtedly an attractive town in many ways, but it is also a good tourist destination. Among the many municipal, associative or national museums, the mill museum is well worth a visit. The reconstructed mills are visible from the RN227, and are already attracting attention. But make the effort to venture there, you won't regret it. A must see. (Original) Villeneuve d'Ascq est sans conteste une ville attrayante à bien des égards, mais c'est aussi une bonne destination touristique. Parmi les nombreux musées municipaux, associatifs ou nationaux, le musée des moulins vaut largement le détour d'une visite. Les moulins reconstitués sont visibles depuis la RN227, et titillent déjà l'attention. Mais faites l'effort de vous y aventurer, vous ne le regretterez pas. À voir absolument.

A small museum with tales and traditional toys for children. Visitors can try on the giant.

Brilliant visit

(Translated by Google) We spent the morning in this local museum in Villeneuve d'Ascq in July. Nice welcome from groups. We were able to participate in different workshops: northern waffle making, how to wash your clothes. Visit to the trades of yesteryear, cooking with chicory, sugar loaf....and the stove. Very interesting...we learn a lot of things too. I highly recommend but with a guide it's better. It is possible to eat on the lawn. Children are also very well received. 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 !

Well worth visiting to learn about an event that very few are probably about. A fitting tribute to the innocents murdered by the Nazis.

(Translated by Google) I am very satisfied with the guided tour which is also free and without registration. The very knowledgeable guide made the tour informative, captivating and suitable for all audiences. I recommend. (Original) Je suis très satisfaite de la visite guidée qui de surcroit est gratuite et sans inscription. La guide très compétente a rendu la visite informative, captivante et adaptée à tout public. Je recommande.

(Translated by Google) Interesting and well done! A few more places to sit would be nice, as there's a lot to read/listen to if you choose the audio guide, and it's very informative. (Original) Intéressant et bien fait ! Un peu plus d'endroits pour s'asseoir serait bien car il y a beaucoup à lire / à écouter si on choisit l'audioguide, et c'est très instructif.

(Translated by Google) Place of memory on one of the little-known massacres Very welcoming staff (Original) Lieu de mémoire sur l'un des massacre peu connu Personnel très accueillant

(Translated by Google) Pavements strewn with weeds, an unmaintained lawn, untrimmed hedges add to the sadness of the place. The duty to remember is intended to be humble but respectful. Undeniably, this last qualifier needs to be reviewed. You would think this place was abandoned. Disappointing. (Original) Des pavés parsemés de mauvaises herbes, une pelouse non entretenue, des haies non taillées ajoutent à la tristesse du lieu. Le devoir de mémoire se veut humble mais respectueux. Indéniablement, ce dernier qualificatif est à revoir. On croirait ce lieu à l'abandon. Décevant.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful I recommend the place (Original) Très beau je recommande le lieu

(Translated by Google) A superb museum. The memory of Ascq... Bravo (Original) Un superbe musée. La mémoire d' Ascq... Bravo

Super

(Translated by Google) A terrible experience. We came for a singles match (1 vs 1) and were charged the same rate as a doubles match (2 vs 2). No logic, no business sense. The receptionist, incredibly quick to cash in, really gives the impression of being a real Scrooge: anything goes to scrape together a few euros, even at the expense of fairness and player satisfaction. Result: a huge disappointment... a club to absolutely avoid! (Original) Expérience lamentable. On est venu pour un simple (1 vs 1) et on nous a facturé le même tarif qu’un terrain de double (2 vs 2). Aucune logique, aucun sens commercial. La personne à l’accueil, d’une acuité incroyable pour encaisser, donne vraiment l’impression d’être un vrai Picsou : tout est bon pour gratter quelques euros, même au détriment de l’équité et de la satisfaction des joueurs. Résultat : une énorme déception… un club à fuir absolument !

(Translated by Google) Haven of greenery and conviviality In the heart of our neighborhood! It’s really great for a drink, a game of pétanque, or eating an excellent pizza!!! Haven't tried the restaurant yet but we'll come back! (Original) Havre de verdure et de convivialité Au cœur de notre quartier ! C est vraiment chouette pour boire un coup , faire une partie de pétanque, ou manger une excellente pizza !!! Pas encore testé le restaurant mais on va revenir !

(Translated by Google) I played for the first time at this club on the 1v1 court. The court was extremely slippery; I must have fallen four or five times, and it was impossible to get a good grip, making it difficult to play a good game. Also, racket rentals cost €5, which I've never seen at any other complex. The welcome wasn't amazing; even the receptionist had trouble quoting the price of the racket, as it was so expensive for what it was. It's a good thing I was invited, otherwise I would never rent a court at this club. (Original) J’ai joué pour la première fois dans ce club sur le terrain de 1vs1. Terrain extrêmement glissant, j’ai du tomber 4/5 fois, prise d’appuis impossible, pas agréable pour faire une belle partie. De plus la location de la raquette est à 5 euros, je n’ai jamais vu ça dans d’autre complexe. Accueil pas incroyable, même le réceptionniste a eu du mal à donner le prix de la raquette tellement c’est cher pour ce que c’est. Heureusement que l’on m’a invité sinon je ne louerais jamais un terrain dans ce club

(Translated by Google) Menu not complete, no more starters even though the service has just started. Very dirty, greasy glasses. The boss went on vacation, leaving the place abandoned in the hands of an incompetent team Non-existent service Would deserve a visit from the hygiene department (Original) Menu pas complet, plus d'entrée alors que le service vient de commencer. Très sale, verres gras. Le patron est parti en vacances, laissant les lieux à l'abandon aux mains d'une équipe incompétente Service inexistant Mériterait une visite du service d'hygiène

Awesome experience

I got kicked out for wearing swimming shorts as a woman. I was asked to get out of the water and was humiliated in front of everybody. The reason for this discriminating rule was not explained to me. I ended up not even getting my money back... It's 2024.
