Although the Napoleon Bridge has a long history, the current bridge only dates from 2014! That year, as part of the overall redevelopment of the Citadel Park, the Napoleon Bridge was rebuilt. This was based on the design created by Philippe Canissié in 1849, after the original bridge had become significantly outdated (including the roof's need for renovation). During the 2014 project, new sphinxes and concrete abutments covered with the original stones and sculptures were added. The first version of the bridge was built in 1809, and inscribed with the names of French victories in the Napoleonic battles. The bridge was destroyed in both the First and Second World Wars.

Great spot for running in Lille

to do again

beautiful from the countryside towards the CHU

A little caution and civility to have: the park is sometimes very busy

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. Surrounded by a large wood, and surrounded by the Deûle and its canals, this place is a superb blend of nature and heritage.
