In some ways, this church is better than the cathedral within Lille. Upkeep is done well and clean. Friendly staff.

We've visited and photographed many churches and cathedrals across Europe and this one immediately jumped into our Top 5 because of its beauty, drama and architecture. Even if the stained glass windows were the only highlight, a visit to this church would be worth it. HOWEVER, they are just one of the many highlights. The exterior detail (and restoration) is beautiful but when you walk inside you see the real highlights. Initially is seems rather simple then as your eyes adjust and you begin to notice the detail you begin to understand that you are standing in a very special structure. Grab yourself a 'self-guided tour' pamphlet (we found them on the left side of the church about 1/4 way down from main entrance) so you are able to identify the dozens of unique features.

I loved the interior of the church. Mass was open to everyone.

A great church in the centre of the city. Peaceful, calm and tranquil. Entry is free and there is a great deal to see as you walk around.
