If you want a good stroll this is the place to go as it is a very pleasant place to go for one, and if you go from the south around to the east you come out near the Charles De gaul museum & the old part of Lille More

How could you pass up a walk/ run/ segueway/cycle in this glorious gren historic space. It's a little hard to get to, taxi, bike, foot....but once you are there it's a treat. The zoo is definitely worth a walk.... It has Rhinos, with enough room to run around.the segueways are more expensive than other reviews say minimum €4 for 30... More
