    The citadel of Lille (French: Citadelle de Lille) is a bastion fortress built between 1668 and 1671 to a design by Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban. It was built in the west of the city center separated by the Esplanade of Lille in a flooded former moorland on the Deûle near the present border with Belgium in France (Wikipedia).

    The Citadel of Lille was built between 1667 and 1670 on the orders of Louis XIV when he conquered the city. It is Vauban's first major fortified work.

    The large wood surrounding the citadel is surrounded by the Deûle and its canals. You will find superb single tracks there, with small bumps and passages over roots.
