Why not hire a car?

The best way to get to Lille is via rail connection from Brussels, London or Paris. You could also fly in but the airport is largely for domestic flights though it does have connections to Munich, Milan and Venice.

Once here though, the easiest way to get around and explore the surrounding countryside is to hire a car. The city has 2 subway lines that largely connect the city centre to the suburbs and there are buses to both Roubaix and Tourcoing. Other than this there are no significant public transport options in the area.

Just remember driving is on the right and priority goes to drivers entering a junction from the right. Most of the roads you will come across are of the highest quality and the motorways can be tolled but are a very efficient way of travelling between cities. You could choose to travel off the motorway and this can be rewarded with breathtaking countryside scenery but some roads are a bit like mazes so its best to be prepared with maps and/or a GPS system.
