Some info has been automatically translated.
Let yourself be taken aboard the Marinier's accommodation of the "magic bus" association, at the gates of the citadel in the heart of Lille.
You will discover an atypical studio in which you can benefit from the cocooning space equipped with a kitchenette and its sitting area.
Ideal for 2 or 3 people, you can enjoy this wellness area, close to nature and discover the project of this association.

The space
Our studio is located on the stern of a houseboat at the control station. The entrance is in the commander's lair where you can soak up the atmosphere of the Marinier's home.

When you go down the stairs, you will board one of the unusual parts of the Magic Bus. You will discover a fully equipped studio for 2 or 3 people. You can also enjoy, on sunny days, the private terrace located on the landscaped rear deck.

To complete your stay, brunch is possible on Sundays (booking 2 days before). You can also enjoy the veggie restaurant area and its many animations.

Please note: the accommodation is not accessible to people with reduced mobility (steep staircase of 6 steps with double ramp to enter)

Guest access
The studio door is at the end of the barge via a small gate where the key box is located. You are not required to go through the restaurant area to access it.

Our property is located:

- juxtaposed with a paid parking lot in front of the houseboat where you are sure to find a place.
- in a quiet area by the citadel, the Bois de Boulogne and its zoological park. Enough to make lovely walks.
- close to Old Lille
- 12 minutes from Lille Flandres train station via the Liane bus (L5).
- 3 minutes from Rihour metro station, and 7 minutes from République Beaux-Arts, access to V'lille station all around the metro stations.

Other things to note
The Magic Bus is above all an association based on essential values such as well-being, respect for the environment, social ties, support for the local economy and culture. Our accommodation is used to help and partly finance the progress of this project which is so important to us.
A set of sheets and towels is provided upon arrival
