This year, Lille is the best big city to live with a dog. In any case, this is what the magazine 30 millions d’amis asserts, whose exclusive ranking of cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants where it is good to live with a canine companion was spotted by France Blue.
The northern city dethrones Nice (Alpes-Maritimes) which confiscated first place in this astonishing list for two years and which therefore finds itself in second position ahead of Montpellier. Grenoble, Bordeaux, Dijon, Mulhouse, Toulon, Strasbourg, and Perpignan complete the top 10.
With an average score of 18/20, the northern metropolis jumped in the ranking (15.9 last year) thanks to various investments according to the magazine. In a press release published on its site Internet, the City was delighted with this first place which is “a fine recognition of the commitment and mobilization of elected officials and City officials who work every day to promote biodiversity and improve the well- being an animal in Lille”. According BFMthe presence of many dog parks makes Lille a popular city for pet owners.
A “Pet friendly” label for establishments
The city of Nice was rewarded for having created a “Pet friendly” label for tourist establishments that accept dogs or for having opened the doors of the town hall to the four-legged companions of municipal employees.
In Montpellier, it is the free access to public transport for all dogs that was particularly praised. To establish its ranking, the specialized magazine is not based only on the accessibility of infrastructures to dog owners, other factors such as cleanliness, awareness and the city’s commitment to the animal cause are also taken into account.
