Alternatively, a daily travel card, the Pass'Journée, allows you to travel anywhere on the network all day. More information is available (tel: 0820 424 040).
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).
