French city on the Belgian border (5)

I believe the answer is:

lille

(Other definitions for lille that I've seen before include "City of northern France, close to Belgium" , "[FRANCOPHOBIA] would prevent you appreciating it" , "University city in French Flanders" , "City of N. France" , "European city" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
