The building is not far away from the centre and is, for instance, easily accesible by bus from the Lille-Flandres central station using the line number 9 stopping at the station called Bâteliers. It is very easily and quickly accessible from downtown (train stations) by foot as well.
Web services such as ViaMichelin, pagesjaunes.fr or mappy.com may give you a precise map of the area. These web services usually do not show the exact location of the facility since their electronic map stops at number 88 in the street, when the 104 is 30 meters away from there.
