[[Image:Lille 3000.JPG|250px|left|The Boulevard Faidherbe during Lille 3000]]

===Presentation of Lille===
If you are interested about the '''[http://wiki.couchsurfing.com/en/The_History_of_Lille History of Lille]''', you can find a special page '''[http://wiki.couchsurfing.com/en/The_History_of_Lille here]'''. You will know how Lille has been an influenced city and will be for centuries ... 

Lille (Rijsel en néerlandais) est une ville du nord de la France. C'est la préfecture du département du Nord et de la région Nord-Pas-de-Calais.

Lille est, avec ses 224 900 habitants, la principale ville, aux côtés de Roubaix, Tourcoing et Villeneuve-d'Ascq, de Lille Métropole Communauté urbaine, intercommunalité qui regroupe 85 communes et compte 1,2 million d'habitants. Lille est aussi au centre d'une agglomération internationale regroupant environ 1,37 million d'habitants et s'étendant sur la Belgique. Plus largement, elle appartient à une vaste conurbation formée avec les villes de Mouscron, Courtrai, Tournai et Menin, totalisant au moins 1,9 million d’habitants[1].

Son nom en ancien français (L’Isle), comme en flamand occidental (Ryssel, Rijsel en néerlandais moderne), provient d’une île des marécages de la vallée de la Deûle sur laquelle elle a été fondée.

Lille et ses environs appartiennent à la région historique de la Flandre romane, anciens territoires du Comté de Flandre mais ne faisant pas partie de l'aire linguistique du néerlandais. Lille a ainsi toujours été une ville de langue romane[2].

Du moyen-âge à la révolution française, Lille a connu une histoire mouvementée. Ville la plus assiégée de France, elle a appartenu successivement au comté de Flandre, au royaume de France, à l'État bourguignon, au Saint empire romain germanique et aux Pays-Bas espagnols avant d'être prise par les armées françaises menées par Vauban et melée à la guerre de Succession d'Espagne et aux combats avec les autrichiens en marche vers Paris pour libérer Louis XVI.

Cité marchande depuis ses origines, manufacturière depuis le XVIème siècle, la révolution industrielle en fera une grande capitale industrielle principalement autour des industries textiles et mécaniques. Leur déclin, à partir des années 1960, ouvrira une longue période de crise et ce n'est qu'à partir des années 1990 que la reconversion vers le secteur tertiaire et la réhabilitation des quartiers sinistrés donneront un autre visage à la ville.

Lille, en tant que ville principale de l'une des principales aires urbaines de France dispose d'une vie culturelle riche et diversifiée : de nombreuses salles de concerts, une vie associative riche et de nombreux événements (Lille 2004, Lille 3000, Braderie de Lille etc.
