Gare of Lille-Saint-Sauveur

Gare Saint-Sauveur is a converted railway station featuring exhibition areas, a restaurant, and an urban garden in Lille's city center. The complex combines multiple buildings that together create a mixed-use venue for art, food, and community activities.

Built in 1865 as a freight railway station, the site operated for transportation purposes for more than a century. In 2009, the structure underwent complete renovation and reopened as a cultural and leisure destination.

The space functions as a gathering point for contemporary art, music, and film, drawing local creators and audiences together throughout the year. Workshops and performances reflect how the community has embraced this converted venue as its own.

The venue is located on Boulevard Jean-Baptiste Lebas and open several days a week. Check opening hours before your visit since they vary depending on events and programs scheduled.

An experimental urban farm operates on the grounds where local residents and volunteers grow plants and vegetables in raised garden beds. This working garden remains an active part of the site's daily life.
