Tour My Run!Tour My Run!Lille is a flat city to run, between red brick, canals and parks. The Bois de Boulogne, around the Vauban citadel, is the meeting point for Lille runners; the Deûle unrolls its towpaths towards the Flemish countryside; and Vieux-Lille lines up its façades at first light. On TourMyRun, a local runner takes you along their routes: the Citadel loop, the Deûle banks, the Parc Lebas green corridor, the lanes of the Grand-Place. Not a standard circuit: one hour with a Lillois who knows the good, flat, rolling paths and the right tempo — northern warmth included.
