Lille
The Grand Place de Lille has long been the crossroads of all travellers. In its centre lies the column of the Goddess since 1845. A symbol of the city, this lady was designed by the sculptor Théophile Bra and represents the courage of a woman who defends herself against invaders, with a firearm in her hand. The buildings around this monumental square represent a faithful panorama of Lille's architecture between the 17th and 20th centuries.
