Wasquehal, Administrative commune in Lille metropolis, France.

Wasquehal extends across 686 hectares of land in northern France, positioned between Lille and Roubaix within the Nord department of Hauts-de-France region.

The settlement, first documented as Waskenhal in the eleventh century, evolved from its Flemish origins into a thriving community with over 20,000 residents by 2021.

The municipality displays its heritage through traditional heraldic arms featuring a checkerboard pattern in red and silver with black ermine spots.

Located 7 kilometers from Lille and connected by tram services, Wasquehal provides direct access to major transportation networks across northern France.

The elevation of the territory varies from 18 to 47 meters above sea level, reflecting the characteristic flat topography of the Low Countries region.
