Overview

Lillers is a small town located in Hauts-de-France, France. Around 9,988 people are recorded as living there in the most recent open data. Its coordinates of 50.561°, 2.476° place it in the cool-temperate zone of the northern hemisphere. Town territory extends across roughly 26.9 km² of territory, with terrain very close to sea level (18 m). The latitude suggests long cool seasons and short, mild summers.
