Opened in 1860, Place Antoine Tacq whispers tales of transformation. Originally named Place d’Isly, it received its current name in 1881. Place Antoine Tacq stands at the end of Rue d’Isly, along the new ring boulevards near the former Porte de Béthune. The demolition of Porte de Béthune in the 1920s dramatically reshaped Place Antoine Tacq. Further changes came in 1932 with the leveling of the old fortifications. A photo from the 1920s reveals Boulevard de la Moselle and Rue Gustave Testelin to the left. Rue d’Isly and Rue de Loos are visible on the right. The bright light and perspective suggest Porte de Béthune was already gone. This area of Place Antoine Tacq has remained largely unchanged since the 1930s. Today, you can find L’Antasis bar near Place Antoine Tacq. It’s close to Parc Barbusse and easily accessible by metro line 2 to Cormontaigne station, just 700 meters away. The first tram lines in Lille, inaugurated in 1874, connected Lille Flandres station to Porte de Béthune at Place Antoine Tacq.
