Artistic vibes, a cosmopolitan atmosphere and the friendliest market in northern France. We bet Wazemmes will win you over!
Fancy discovering the authentic side of Lille? Then Wazemmes is the neighbourhood for you, as you’ll hardly come across any tourists in this colourful working-class district. Until 1858, Wazemmes was a separate municipality. The neighbourhood evolved from a typical working-class area full of textile factories into a cosmopolitan, artsy neighbourhood that mainly attracts artists and bohemians. You’ll find creative shops and multicultural eateries there. The Marché de Wazemmes is Lille’s largest market. Soak up the bustling atmosphere in the covered market hall or stroll among the exotic stalls at the lively open-air market, accompanied by a touch of accordion music.
