Fetch your bags exit arrivals at Lille Airport (LIL-Lesquin), and pick up your rental car. Which one you motor off in depends on where you’ll be going. If you’ll be spending the majority of the time driving in downtown Lille, around 5 miles from the terminal, select something small. A compact car that’s easy to handle will suit those busy city streets. But with loads of things to see, like the striking sandy shores of the surrounding area, you may want to make a few pit stops. A bigger vehicle, like an SUV or a full-size car, will make lengthier road trips a joy.
