The Lille Grand Palais exhibition center is located in the heart of the Lille metropolis, and was inaugurated in 1994. It is the work of the Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and consists of three distinct spaces: the Zenith Arena, the Palais des Congrès, and the exhibition halls.
The site is now the scene of more than 300 events per year and hosts more than one million visitors. In an area of 45,000 m² are thus proposed the Salon des Vignerons indépendant, Art Up! Contemporary art fair, the International Lille Tatoo Convention, or Environord, the Geek Days and the Kids Park.
