Where to stay in Faubourg de Fives
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Fives keeps its own churches. A commune until Lille absorbed it, the quarter still lists the Église Notre-Dame de Fives, the église du Saint-Sacrement de Fives and the piscine de Fives under its own name, though nothing on that register amounts to lodging. Beds are a Lille question.
Choosing a room near the Belfry of Lille leaves the stade Jean Baratte, the square des Mères and the institution Sainte-Claire within an easy outward trip.

About Faubourg de Fives
What are the main landmarks in Faubourg de Fives?
Churches first, then pitches. The Église Notre-Dame de Fives and the église du Saint-Sacrement de Fives carry the quarter's own name, while the Belfry of Lille, the Église Saint-Sauveur de Lille, the Noble Tour and the Église Saint-Maurice-des-Champs de Lille come from the city that absorbed it. Two museums appear.
The maison de la photographie and the musée de l'Institut Pasteur de Lille sit alongside the stade Jean Baratte, the stade Marcel Duhoo, the terrain Maurice Ravel and the square des Mères on a long municipal list.
What is the history of Faubourg de Fives?
Fives was its own commune. Lille took it in 1858, and the boundary that once ran around a commune of the Nord sits inside the city, with the Église Notre-Dame de Fives and the église du Saint-Sacrement de Fives left as the parish markers of what was annexed. Names came later.
The stade Jean Baratte, the terrain Maurice Ravel, the collège Boris Vian and the institution Sainte-Claire were fixed onto ground the record first describes simply as a commune of the Nord.
Where is Faubourg de Fives?
Fives runs up against Hellemmes and Mons-en-Barœul, whose churches and pools share the district's register, with the stade Jean Baratte inside. The Nord surrounds it.
