A Gourmet Stroll in Lille: Discovering Méert Waffles
In Lille, the waffle is not just a sweet treat—it’s a true institution. We all know Liège or Brussels waffles, but Lille’s waffles are well worth the detour too, especially when it comes to the legendary waffles from Maison Méert.
A Taste Journey Through Time
Since 1849, Maison Méert, nestled in the heart of Old Lille at 27 rue Esquermoise, has delighted taste buds with its oval-shaped waffle—thin, soft, and generously filled with a Madagascar vanilla cream. This recipe, passed down through generations, remains unchanged, preserving a truly unique craftsmanship. The shop itself is a gem, listed as a historic monument, where gilding and woodwork transport you to a bygone era.

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. At La Maison Fives, we dream of hosting a similar event: great beer, good music, and that little something that makes all the difference. In the meantime, we encourage you to check out this pop-up—it promises plenty of great surprises.
Just a stone’s throw from La Maison Fives, an astonishing sight greets us. Colorful and round, funny heads float in the air, adding a touch of whimsy to the neighborhood. These installations, known as “Happy Heads”, are the work of artists Benoît + Bo, and are located in the Passage de l’Internationale, a bustling spot in the Fives Cail district.
This artwork is part of the lille3000 event, which aims to energize art in the city and introduce unique creations to residents and visitors of Lille. The installation beautifully contrasts with the modern glass and steel architecture of this building, creating an atmosphere that is both disconcerting and captivating.
We strongly encourage you to come and see these colorful works that beautify our neighborhood. Take advantage of your visit to La Maison Fives to explore this creative corner of Lille, where art and hospitality meet in a warm atmosphere.

We are pleased to announce an exciting transformation: La Maison Folia becomes La Maison Fives. A new place, a new name, but always the same energy that drives us. We have left the countryside to anchor ourselves in the vibrant and bustling neighborhood of Fives Cail.
An Evolving Space
Our corner building, with its large facade, will soon welcome a giant mural that will capture attention. Right next door, a second house with two large garages will be transformed into a ceramic workshop-boutique. We still have some work to do before the planned opening on November 1st, and the Christmas spirit will settle in here to celebrate this moment.
A Unique Experience
We don’t really like to define ourselves as a guest house, and we’re not a traditional hotel either. So we’ve created a formula that resembles us: a Five-room hôtel & Atelier-Boutique. This independent design venue offers five comfortable rooms, each with its own bathroom and space. You’ll also find a living room-library, a jazzy atmosphere, and a room dedicated to breakfasts and meals, all in an early century Lille house.
Ceramics that Tell a Story
Next to our hotel, the ceramic workshop will be an open space on the street, where we will bring to life the continuation of La Maison Fives. We aim to produce local ceramics that resonate with our city, its inhabitants, and the neighborhood. Work began in August, and we will share some progress here to keep you informed.
A New Urban Life
This new adventure reminds us of our years spent in Montreal and Brussels. We have always dreamed of opening our Five-room hôtel in the city, and today, we feel in our element. Surrounded by artists’ studios, art galleries, the Fives Cail brewery, and new restaurants, we are witnessing the energy unfolding in the new Fives.
A Neighborhood in Transformation
We are delighted to be part of this new life in the heart of a reinventing neighborhood. La Maison Fives is much more than just accommodation. It’s a place for exchanges, creativity, and hospitality, where every visitor can feel the warmth of our community.
