Stade Félix Bollaert is approx; 1 km from Gare de Lens and is on the Rue Marcel Carton, it is not a difficult walk but there are taxis available at the station.

From the station walk left (NW) along  Place Gen de Gaulle for 100 mtr then turn left onto Rue Jean Letienne, after 400 mtr at the junction turn left onto Ave Alfred Maes, carry on along here for 100 mtr then turn right. the stadium is a further 400 mtr along this road.
