Getting there
Armentières is served by the Armentières regional railway station on the Lille-Dunkirk line, which reaches central Lille in around twenty minutes. From the station, rue des Résistants is about ten minutes on foot. Several bus lines round out the network to neighbouring towns. By car, the town is reached via the N42 and N352.
The neighbourhood
Rue des Résistants runs through a residential area in central Armentières, a few minutes from the Grand-Place. The urban fabric carries the mark of the 1920s reconstruction, with brick buildings and architecture typical of northern France. Halal shops, bakeries and grocers can be reached on foot in the town centre and along rue de Lille.
Practical advice for a visit
