FOURARI ABDELJABBAR

Had a nice walk in the park around. Was surprised at how easy it would be to just stroll into a military compound and almost did so by accident. The park is nice and the sun was out so had a nice walk.

We visited to enjoy a walk in a green space, and we weren't disappointed! Very easy to find with clear paths and plenty to see as you walk around. It was busy, but the space is so big it really didn't feel it. We just did a loop around the citadel building, but would have done more had we more time in Lille. Lots of wildlife to enjoy. We spotted two Herons! There were spaces to stop and rest, places to picnic and plenty of spaces for kids to play in various playground areas. Fab, free public space!

Me and my boyfriend had a nice long walk along the path around Citadelle de Lille. The place is so big that we both agree that it takes the second time visit to finish exploring everything. You can see trees everywhere and it is beautiful. I highly recommend if you want a long nice walk. I am not sure about pinic here because I do not see anyone doing so. However, I could see it is a perfect place for bikers, hikers and runners. We had a lot of fun taking our time admiring the beautiful nature, there were a lot of place to rest along the way if you get tired.

The old fortress monument in Lille during hunderous years and now becoming the military land. Actually it is a very good place for people to take the fresh air ! Sportive activities are highly recommend here.

Beautiful to walk around the garden but to be clear for any tourists, you cannot go inside. Apparently you can get a tour but it’s not every weekend / day and you must book in advance. There is a lot of garden to walk around so great for a stroll

Just a little (read: "lot") disappointed that we couldn't come inside and see more. The surroundings are great, however! A total esacapade from the city madness. The "organic landscaping service" gave me a huge chuckle. I think we stayed playing with the sheep the whole time there 🙂

The citadel itself is ok. The park is nice for a jog not really a walk as a loop around the citadel is at least 2 km with monotonous landscaping. There was also a cheesy funfair whilst i was there and lots of drunk but friendly people at night. Feels like an urban park/wooded area that's been through phases of neglect and care.

The park around Citadelle de Lille is quite a charm. Especially during summer. Serenity exemplified. A gem within Lille. Ideal for outdoor activities while alone, boo’d up or with your family/friends. Too bad the Citadelle itself isn’t easily accessible.
