A weekend in.. Lille

Lille is the capital of this striking region, the only one in France that hasn't got it's own name. It's simply referred to as "the North".
Our favorites in Lille
Lille is a city with a special place in our hearts. A city we'll never forget. Thanks to the warmth of its people, its beautiful lights and so many brilliant Flemish paintings... So here's our pick of must see places.
