Lille
Lille, the most Flemish of French cities, has all the positive features to ensure a successful visit: 1000 years of exciting history, large museums including the Palais des Beaux-Arts, welcoming shops and an outstanding tradition of culinary excellence.
You can enjoy a stroll into the Old City or take a detour through its narrow streets to see the charming coloured facades. Otherwise, the capital of the North will also entice those who enjoy shopping with the many brand names in its extensive shopping centre, Euralille or les Galeries Lafayette and many more too.
To find out about the Lille folklore calendar events (la Braderie de Lille flea market, the Christmas Market, the big exhibitions...), visit the web site of the Lille Tourist Office.
To taste a traditional Lille waffle, head to the pâtisserie Meert in the city centre. This famous brandname from the XIXe century is a specialist and also has a tea room.
