Lille-Lesquin Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Lille-Lesquin airport is about 10 km south-east of the centre, linked by the flibco.com shuttle in 20 minutes from the Place des Buisses stop, in front of the Gare Lille Flandres. Anyone with an early-morning flight or arriving late at night finds it handy to have a hotel near the station, the shuttle's starting point. Anyone wanting to visit the city chooses between Vieux Lille, the most characterful district with its Flemish façades, and the Grand Place, the pedestrian heart among shops, museums and restaurants, both a few minutes' walk from the station.
