The Hospice Comtesse was founded as a hospital in 1237 by the Countess of Flanders, Jeanne de Constantinople and remained as a hospital until 1939.
Get a glimpse of where Augustine nuns provided a haven for the sick, see some art (the Musée de l'Hospice Comtesse has been turned into a museum) then go outside and visit the medicinal garden. On the west side of Lille is Citadelle de Lille, Lille's fortress, built around 1668 by Vauban and was part of the city's fortifications, most of which were dismantled towards the end of the 19th century. The Bois de Boulogne surrounds the Citadelle, and is popular with walkers and folks with children. There is a well-run zoo nearby.
