About
Lille's Christmas Village sits at the foot of the Palais Rihour, between the Grand'Place and Place du Théâtre. Its 90 chalets bring together traders, craftspeople and producers, including many specialities from other regions and countries. The lights come on from 5 pm, the nicest time to visit. The Ferris wheel on the Grand'Place is right next door. Dogs on a lead are welcome; if you drive, a Crit'Air sticker is required throughout the metropolitan area.
Opening hours
Some sites also mention a 6 pm close on 30 December; the city does not state this.
