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.
