Espace Plaisir Lille

A loveshop that changed the game

Opened at the end of 2020 right in the center of Lille, Espace Plaisir has established itself as the biggest loveshop in the city center. Nothing like the dusty image of the corner sex shop here, the atmosphere is chic, contemporary, designed so you feel at ease, whether alone or as a couple.

The shop is a five minute walk from Lille Flandres station, which makes it an easy stop for anyone passing through town or who'd rather avoid curious looks in their own neighborhood.

What you'll find inside

More than 1200 items are spread across the space: erotic lingerie, erotic comics, inflatable dolls, sex toys, lube and wellness accessories. Enough to cover both a first discovery and a more specific craving.

The staff are trained to advise without judgment, which matters when you're not quite sure where to start or you're looking for something specific without wanting to linger in the aisles. The shop also offers a 100 day trial on sex toys, a rare service that lets you test without fear of getting it wrong.

Buy online or in store

On the services side, Espace Plaisir Lille plays both hands. You can order online and pick up in store via click & collect, or get it delivered straight home if you prefer total discretion.

These options come on top of the classic in store visit, for those who prefer to see and touch the products before buying.

Hours and access

The shop is open Monday to Thursday from 10:30am to 7pm, and Friday and Saturday until 7:30pm. It's closed on Sunday. Access is reserved for adults, as everywhere in this type of business.

What regulars say

Online reviews regularly praise the modern atmosphere of the place and the professionalism of the staff, far from the clichés of the classic sex shop. Discreet service comes up often in comments, as does the closeness to the station which makes the visit easy for passing customers. The upscale concept seems to have found its audience since opening.
