Lille Transport
Public Transport
Transpole (tel: 0820 424 040; www.transpole.fr) operates a good network of buses and trams, as well as two automated, driverless metro lines known as the ‘VAL'.
The town centre is very walkable, but the metro is useful for longer journeys. Buy a carnet of 10 tickets in advance to save money. Alternatively, a daily travel card, the Pass'Journée, allows you to travel anywhere on the network all day.
There is a shuttle linking the car parks at Champ de Mars, Norexpo et Porte de Valenciennes, via boulevard de la Liberté (stops at rue Nationale, place de la République, rue de Valmy, boulevard Jean-Baptiste Lebas) and boulevard Louis XIV (stop at Lille Grand Palais). Regular daily departures 0700-2000 except Sunday and bank holidays.
