🏰 Palais Rihour – Lille’s Gothic Gem

#postandearn #attractive Located in the heart of Lille, the Palais Rihour is a striking example of Flamboyant Gothic architecture and a historic symbol of the city. Built in the 15th century, it was once the residence of the Dukes of Burgundy and now houses the Lille Tourist Office, making it both a cultural and practical stop for visitors. Walking through the grand façade, I was captivated by the intricate stone carvings, pointed arches, and majestic windows that reflect the craftsmanship of the late Gothic era. The surrounding square is lively, with cafés and shops, perfect for soaking in the atmosphere of Lille’s historic center. What I enjoyed most was the combination of history and accessibility—you can admire the architecture up close, take photos, and then explore nearby attractions such as Grand Place and Vieille Bourse, all within walking distance. Practical tips: Entry to the tourist office is free, and you can also join guided tours to learn more about the palace’s history. Visit during daylight for the best photo opportunities, and don’t miss the details on the façade that are easy to overlook from a distance. For history buffs, architecture lovers, and travelers exploring Lille, the Palais Rihour is a must-see landmark. #createwithtrip #lille #francetravel #palaisrihour
