Short Break Lille
From museums of fine art to distilleries and flower markets, the city of Lille is full of life and culture. The Museum of Fine Arts is considered by many as second only to the Louvre in Paris, while a flair for more contemporary style is highlighted at the Museum of Modern Art, featuring such artists as Braque and Picasso.

There is something for everyone in this shopper’s paradise. From the Euralille centre to the boutiques, patisseries, and book markets scattered throughout the pedestrian streets, Lille is reputed to have some of the finest shopping in Europe. The September Braderie, an open-air market spreading through the entire city, is renowned for its antiques, art, food and furniture. Whilst during the rest of the year many of the city squares are filled with stalls of all descriptions.

Keep an eye open for signs of Lille’s thrilling history. In Medieval times Lille was the Duke of Burgundy’s capital. Later on it was ruled by a gold rich Spain and has been laid siege to by both France and Austria. The beautiful architecture of the city reflects these dramatic changes and recent restoration work has brightened the old town to former glories.

However you wish to travel, Lille is just 71 miles from Calais or 49 miles from Boulogne. Alternatvely travel by Eurostar where journey times can be from as little as 57 minutes.

Why not pop over to enjoy moules-frîtes, a stroll through the parks and riverside walks or a ramble through the streets and shops? Whatever your tastes, a weekend of infinite variety awaits you in this fascinating city.
