Chamber of commerce Lille Métropole, Chamber of commerce and exchange building in Lille, France
The Chamber of Commerce Lille Métropole is a neo-Flemish building featuring a 76-meter-tall bell tower with an automated carillon that plays melodies at regular intervals throughout the day. Built between 1910 and 1921, it currently serves as a business center for the entire Hauts-de-France region.
The original chamber was founded in 1715 and later moved to this building designed by Louis Marie Cordonnier. During World War II, German forces commandeered it as their regional headquarters.
The building displays Flemish architectural features that reflect the connection between commerce and local craftsmanship traditions. Visitors can observe the ornate facades and grand proportions that express the economic prosperity of this region.
The building is located on Boulevard de Leeds and operates on a business schedule that favors weekday visits. The best times to experience the bell tower's melodies are during working hours when staff are present and operations are active.
The tower features an automated carillon system that independently plays melodies at preset times, creating a distinctive auditory landmark on the street. This technical system was rare in civic buildings of that era and makes the structure a sonically recognizable landmark in the neighborhood.
