old stock exchange

The exterior of the building is very beautiful. Inside the old stock exchange you have some people selling their old crap. Could have been converted to a place for food and music

This is a fascinating piece of architecture - and trading still goes on today, with a flea market under the covered areas.

A very interesting building to photograph and wander through - and it is free - some market stalls inside that were of specialist interest old books posters newspapers etc. Look for the English translation of its history in one of the 4 entrances

you can buy some old posters or books inside, nice to walk through the building, but we stayed not more then 15 minutes

Unfortunately it was closed when we were there but the views of the outside are breathtaking. Do the ferris wheel and you will get great views of the entire city center.

Seeing such a building in the middle of the city is always a pleasant experience.It is very similar tot the building style of Flanders

This is a very nice location to visit. It immediately takes you back to the past. Nicely restored. When we visited there was a bookmarket going on.

In winter or in summer, this building is always so beautiful. Inside you will find a small market, selling anything from old books to old currencies or old coins...worth walking though..

I was hoping to see the cloister type internal square. However everything was closed. It looked fairly interesting from the outside in a prominent position in the middle of "The Grand Place".

One of the best buildings in Lille with a book market in the inner courtyard. Right in the centre so very easy to find. Nothing to dislike.

The Old Stock Exchange shown on the City Tour, but It is worthwhile to walk around the villa entrance with posters, old interesting books, long playing records. The building is very decorative with gold.

Interesting books from crime paperbacks, old copies of Vogue to rare editions along with some glass wear and stuffed birds. Also original copies of posters and prints. Copies at reasonable prices.

great place to buy some old book or stamp collection. Open every weekend, the place is wonderful chance for you to find some "vintage" stuffs.

It's a pretty building with some nice book stores in it, but can't see spending more than 30 minutes here
