The Canal de la Deûle is one of the oldest canals in northern France, connecting the River Scarpe at Douai with the River Lys at Deûlémont, near the Belgian border. The canal is approximately 34.8 km long and has 3 locks. Most of the canal is incorporated into the Dunkerque-Escaut high-performance waterway, with the remaining section through the port of Lille often considered a branch of the main route, hence the alternative names Liaison or Antenne Bauvin-Lys.

Citadel Pasture

Highlight • Historical Site

This historical monument, under the control of the Ministry of Defense, is the Citadel of Lille and the Museum of the Sedentary Artillerymen. It is called the Queen of Citadels, built by Vauban in 1670. The building is in the shape of a regular pentagon, reinforced by powerful bastions, within which the buildings are arranged in a star shape to form a large central courtyard.
Around it and open to the public at all times is a beautiful park (with a zoo and a playground), but if you stay on the path, you walk along this star.
