Founded in 1875, the Catholic University of Lille extends over 10 hectares in the heart of the Vauban district. From the neo-Gothic style of the Hotel Académique with its gargoyles, turrets, pointed arches and pinnacles, to the resolutely contemporary glass atrium, its architecture is unique. During a visit, discover in particular the Academic Hotel, the Faculty of Medicine and its botanical garden, the University Chapel (observatory not visited).
A guided tour of 1h30 is proposed at the following slots:
Saturday, September 20 at 2 p.m., 3 p.m. and 4 p.m.
The visit on Saturday at 2 PM will last two hours: a larger and more complete tour route, for the great curious.
Sunday, September 21 at 10:30 am, 2 pm, 3 pm and 4 pm
