Braderie de Lille
The Lille Braderie (French: Braderie de Lille) is a braderie, or annual street market/flea market, that takes place on the weekend of the first Sunday of September in Lille, France, in the northern Hauts-de-France region. It dates back to the 12th century, attracting nearly three million visitors each year. The Braderie de Lille is one of the largest gatherings in France and the largest flea market in Europe. In 2014 the Braderie was reported to host 100km of market stalls to over 10,000 exhibitors.
During the Braderie, the city hosts a music festival. The traditional food eaten during the festival, moules-frites, typically results in built-up heaps of mussel shells around the city.
In 2016, the Braderie was cancelled by Lille mayor Martine Aubry, following terrorist incidents in France.

Parc Henri Matisse
The Parc Henri Matisse is a public park and gardens in the Euralille district of Lille, adjacent to Lille-Europe station.
The park was designed by Gilles Clément, after he opposed plans to construct a multi-purpose urban building in this location. A principal feature is a 3,500 sqm 7m high plinth in the centre named Derborence Island. It used spoil from constructing the station, and was laid out in the same shape as Antipodes Island. The area is monitored every few years to check the diversity of wildlife, and see if certain plant species can survive or thrive there.
