Lille, the proud capital of Flanders, is sure to win you round to the charms of the north of France. It is an impressive and multi-faceted city that delicately combines its relics from the past with a wholly modern outlook.
It is full of 17th Century Flemish architecture whose sparkling colours brighten up the streets and bring genuine charm to the alleyways of Vieux Lille, the old town that has managed to retain its authenticity over the passage of time. A modern touch is also brought to the city thanks to the cultural complex and business district of Euralille, with its cutting edge glass towers.
Lille is a festive city famed for its street markets and festivals, which provide the perfect opportunity to taste the local cuisine, a veritable anthology of typical flavours from the north of France.
