If you’re in Lille and looking for a quieter yet modern shopping mall that got all you need, look no further than south! Enter Lillenium, Lille’s most underrated shopping centre.

Located at 2 Rue du Faubourg des Postes, just across a highway bridge at Lille’s southern periphery near Porte des Postes métro station, this shopping centre boasts an impressive architecture, and modern yet sustainable design.
To me, it looks more modern than Lille’s more popular Euralille shopping centre which is located centrally near Lille-Flandres train station.
Lillenium was the first shopping mall I have been to since I moved to Lille as an international student. I went there to buy groceries at Leclerc during the pandemic.

Today, Lillenium is booming and more well-known. Its variety and number of shops have continued to evolve.

Aside from having a hypermarket, there are also now many shops that concern beauty and health, electronic shops such as Darty, jewellery and accessories, home, and clothing brands such as H&M, New Yorker, Deichmann, Okaïdi, and more.

I really like that there’s an Action store on the second floor. I love going to Action for budget shopping of my necessities in sports, pets, and even electronic gadgets.

The mall also features a “Mium District” on its second floor. This space is dedicated to leisure and catering to complement the shopping experience with a moment of relaxation.
Its array of restaurants offer varied and quality cuisines to satisfy all your gourmet desires.

On its ground floor, you will find a few cafés (I particularly love Columbus café!) and great views of the shopping mall’s interior design.
The cafés have numerous power outlets which are very useful and important to me in case I need to charge my phone.
What’s more, even the shopping mall’s standing tables have power points too! And with the mall’s free WiFi, technically you can work there if that’s how you feel like doing!

Is it safe to go to Lillenium?
Yes, Lillenium employs security guards aplenty. This is important especially that the quarter where it is located is historically known to be a bit less safe.
Lillenium, however, stands just a few metres away from a big police station called Commissariat de Police Nationale de Lille, so that gives a feel of more security. In all of my numerous visits to this shopping mall, I never had any negative experience on the matter of safety.
Here are other photos I have personally taken from Lillenium shopping centre:
