About
A fixture of Lille's winter, the 50-metre wheel with 36 gondolas stands on the Grand'Place (Place du Général-de-Gaulle) beside the giant Christmas tree. From the top you look over the Vieille Bourse, the belfry and the rooftops of Old Lille. It turns until midnight, a nice end to an evening after the nearby Christmas Village. It stays after the holidays, until 16 January. Pay by cash or card.
