Maison de Gilles de la Boë, Historical monument in central Lille, France.

The building features sandstone arches on the ground floor and upper levels with alternating openings and niches topped with triangular pediments.

The mansion was built in 1636 near the former port of Lille for Gilles de la Boë, a merchant specializing in spices and textiles.

The structure exemplifies Flemish Mannerist architecture with its fruit garlands connecting thick consoles and decorative elements throughout the facade.

The house stands at the intersection of Place Louise-de-Bettignies and Avenue du Peuple-Belge, near the Musée des canonniers and Abbaye de Marquette.

The building, also known as Au Bon Bouillon, served both residential and commercial purposes, reflecting typical urban architecture in 17th-century Lille.
