LILLE CITADEL
Go there and contact
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.
