Place du General du Gaulle, Lille

As in an earlier Lille article on amazing buildings in the city, we meet again the Flemish architectural style but now in the Vieille Bourse. This is the most famous building in town and was constructed in 1653. It was a place were commercial traders could sell and buy products. There was enough room for 24 traders to display their merchandise. The Theatre du Nord is also a very fascinating building and had nice Christmas decorations on the facade. The other houses on this market place were also worth a visit.

Zoals in een vorig artikel over ongelooflijke gebouwen in de stad, komen we terug de Vlaamse architecturale stijl tegen in de Vieille Bourse. Dit is het meest beroemde gebouw van de stad en werd voltooid in 1653. Het is een gebouw waar handelaren producten kochten en verkochten. Er was genoeg plaats voor 24 verkoopruimtes. Het Theatre du Nord is ook een mooi gebouw en had leuke kerstdecoraties tegen de muren. De andere huizen op de markt zijn ook een bezoekje waard.
