Lille Grand Palais

An Iconic Venue in the Heart of Northern Europe

We welcome you to the exceptional setting of Lille Grand Palais, a must-visit event venue located in the heart of the Lille metropolis. Designed by architect Rem Koolhaas, this flexible space combines modernity, accessibility, and functionality within a dynamic and innovative urban environment.

Lille Grand Palais stands out for its architectural versatility, bringing together a convention center, exhibition hall, and concert arena (Zénith) under one roof. With its bright, modular, and fully connected spaces, it offers the ideal setting for all types of events, from scientific conferences to large cultural gatherings.

Fully accessible to people with reduced mobility, Lille Grand Palais enjoys a strategic location: just a 10-minute walk from Lille Flandres and Lille Europe train stations, at the crossroads of major European capitals (Paris, Brussels, London). The site is also served by metro, tram, and bus, making it easily accessible for all visitors.
