Car rental at Lille Europe train station

How to get to Lille Europe station?

Once you arrive at the Lille Lesquin airport terminal or step out of Lille Europe station, you likely won't have a way to get around Lille yet. Renting a car is a great idea, but avoid traditional rental agencies (Europcar, Sixt, Hertz, Avis, Rent A Car, Ada, etc.), as they aren't as convenient as a vehicle booked via Turo. With Turo, you can arrange to pick up the keys from the vehicle owner right outside Lille Lesquin airport or Lille Europe station, allowing you to start exploring the city just minutes after your arrival! Plus, this service gives you access to over 30,000 vehicles owned by locals across France. You can truly choose the car that suits your needs—whether it’s a compact city car for a drive around town or a van for moving.

What to do in Lille and the surrounding region?

When you arrive in Lille, you are in the heart of French Flanders, and there is plenty to do! One of the best ways to explore the area is to tour the "Villages Patrimoine" (Heritage Villages)—a label used in Flanders to showcase local heritage. Each village has a unique characteristic that sets it apart. Sercus, for example, boasts an authentic Flemish *estaminet* (traditional tavern), while Rubrouck is twinned with Mongolia, thanks to the friar William who traveled there from the village.
Since the region shares a border with Belgium, it also shares its culinary traditions. You’ll find fries and beer, of course, but also Flemish specialties like the famous *carbonnade flamande* (beef stewed in beer) or *hochepot* (hearty meat and vegetable stew). You’ll want to work up a big appetite if you decide to go on a local culinary tour!
