One day in Lille, France

Hello,
Planning one day trip to Lille from Brussels on June 2.
My wife and me, we are 62 and 64 in good shape.
We are preferring most time spend outside but we like some interesting places such as churches, synagogues, historical building and can spend some time in museum but for one day maybe not to too big one.
Welcome any recommendations.

Lille is a lovely city and even if you just wander around the 'Vieux Lille' area, you will find a multitiude of wonderful things to see.

If it's a clear day, I highly recommend going to the top of the belfry at the Hôtel de Ville.

I am a bit disappointed that nobody else has replied.

To fill the void, here are a few photo reports that I have made about Lille in the past:

Hi kerouac again,
Are those exhibitions on your pictures temporary or permanent? You mentioned that it's part of yearly event Lille 3000.

Thanks,

Those specific ones were temporary at the time, but there are always new ones, notably at "Saint-Sauveur" and also often at the "Tripostal."

I confirm that Lille is a great city. didn't reply due to amount of spams that are really bothering me for the moment...

I never really took the time it deserved but strolled leisurely in the city.
I even held a speech at the conference center ;-)
I had one of my greatest bodums ever in Lille.
I also visited a battery producer - quite interesting.

My former dog was from Bethune, making him a Lillois ?
