Tradi'Balade is a Lille-based experience company offering guided city tours and themed 2CV rallies across Lille and Hauts-de-France.
The operation blends classic Citroën 2CV drives with curated culinary tastings, scavenger hunts, and concise guided walks to reveal Lille's history, architecture and local gastronomy.
Signature experiences include the Rallye Prestige, a 2.5-hour gastronomic drive featuring Meert waffles, Fred's Merveilleux, regional cheeses and artisanal beers; the Rallye Enquête Policière, a themed investigation adventure in a 2CV with puzzles and local treats; and Lille aux Secrets, a two-hour gourmet scavenger hunt for teams up to eight that includes three tastings from local vendors. Short guided options such as Lille Beffroi (1h), Lille Citadelle (1h30), Lille La Déesse (30 min) and Lille Napoléon III (45 min) focus on iconic squares, monuments and anecdotes. Other offerings include Tradi'Petit Déj, Tradi’Brunch, Rallye Bières du Nord, Tradi’Monuments (75 min), Tradi’Découvertes & Surprises, and a range of tasting, family and evening formats.
Local guides drive vintage 2CV convertibles and partner with artisans, chocolatiers, bakeries and bars to source regional specialties. Experiences are suitable for visitors seeking culinary exploration, team building, celebrations and short cultural walks. Booking details, group capacities and exact itineraries vary by trip; interested visitors should consult Tradi'Balade directly for availability, accessibility and pricing.
Trips frequently conclude with a prize or awards ceremony for competitive rally formats. Durations range from quick 30-minute walks to 2.5-hour rallies. Tradi'Balade offers breakfast and brunch options tied to guided walks, and tasting stops highlight local chocolatiers, bakeries and breweries locally.
