Lille a Destination Committed to Sustainability

Giving your holiday a deeper meaning by choosing responsible tourism—one that considers its environmental, social, and economic impacts—is a choice more and more of us are making.

And you’re in luck: the Lille Metropolitan Area is embracing this approach through the “Innovative and Sustainable Destination” label. Lille’s Metropolitan Tourist Office is also certified with the national “Accueil Vélo” label, which guarantees quality services and a warm welcome for touring cyclists along dedicated bike paths.
