Le VAL - Histoire du métro de Lille
On April 25, 1983, President of the Republic François Mitterrand inaugurated the first line of the Lille metro during his visit to the North. The connection between the Villeneuve d'Ascq university campus and Lille city center was established thanks to the VAL, an innovative automatic means of transport developed by the teams of the new city and the university.
This event was of significant importance, marking the realization of studies and debates. This initial milestone shaped the new face of the Lille metropolis through construction sites.
The metro, essential to the daily travel of more than 400, 000 people, has remained at the heart of metropolitan political life for more than half a century, always giving rise to lively debates.
This book describes the history and technology of the VAL and the Villeneuve d'Ascq, Lambersart, Mons-en-Barœul, Wasquehal, Croix, Roubaix and Tourcoing stations.
