Once you've climbed the first 100 steps, take the lift (or walk for the bravest) to the top of the belfry... and enjoy a 360° tour of Lille and its surroundings, the Lys valley and even the Flanders mountains on a clear day.
The refurbished belvedere will give you all the keys to understanding the development of the city, from its origins to contemporary urban metamorphoses.
