Wasquehal, Administrative commune in Lille metropolis, France.
Wasquehal is a commune in the Lille metropolis, positioned between Lille and Roubaix in the Nord department of northern France. The territory spans relatively flat land with residential and mixed-use areas that connect to the wider urban network of the region.
The settlement was first recorded as Waskenhal in the 11th century and emerged from Flemish origins to become a modern commune. Its location between two major cities made it a connector in the region's development over the centuries.
The town's coat of arms displays a red and silver checkerboard pattern with black ermine spots, reflecting its connection to Flemish traditions. These symbols speak to the area's long-standing heritage and its roots in northern France.
Wasquehal is situated roughly 7 kilometers from Lille and is easily reached by tram connections. Visitors can explore the commune on foot and benefit from public transportation links that also connect to other areas of the metropolis.
The landscape has only modest elevation changes, ranging from around 18 to 47 meters, reflecting the characteristic flat topography of the Low Countries. This gentle terrain shapes how the community sits within the broader regional landscape.
