The Quai du Wault is one of the two ancient ports of Lille, dating from the Middle Ages, and it is still full of water. There you can admire the aristocratic facades that line the quay, as well as the Couvent des Minimes, a former convent now transformed into a hotel. The Quai du Wault is also a gateway to Old Lille, where you can discover the charming streets, shops and monuments. The Quai du Wault is the ideal place to enjoy the beauty and history of Lille.
