Apart from 45 kms of underground metro, there's a WWII battlefield tour, part of which is underground (tunnel and underground hospital):

Do you mean the 'underground city' which is actually the network of tunnels used in the First World War? If so, it's at Arras, open from May to November.

Arras is not in Lille, though the metro is. There are tunnel tours on the battlefields, and the tunnels actually under Arras town square are open as above.
