A pop-up bar in the heart of Vieux Lille We stumbled upon a hidden gem in Old Lille: La Maison Paix Dieu. This private mansion turned pop-up bar welcomes you from Wednesday to Sunday, from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m. And on Saturdays, there’s a musical vibe with a live concert or a DJ set. A great opportunity to experience Lille from a different perspective!
Paix Dieu Nova: the beer that makes an impression What really won us over is their Paix Dieu Nova beer. Lighter than the classic tripel at 6%, yet it still packs that wonderfully hoppy taste we love. We tried it before taking a break, and it completely won our taste buds over! Perfect for those who want to enjoy a good brew without losing their head.
Pop-up Paix Dieu: a unique experience in Lille From May 28 to June 29, the Pop-up Paix Dieu takes place at 📍 105 rue Royale, 59800 Lille >> https://maps.app.goo.gl/XyLkTPTa9YKdFGsV9 A must-visit for anyone who loves places with charm and character—without overdoing it.
