Lille 1 day trip from £32, french language

Buy your Christmas gifts in French!
Lille is northern France's largest city and surprises many visitors with its impressive architecture, the winding streets of its tastefully restored old quarter (Vieux Lille) and a plethora of restaurants where quality and quantity go hand in hand. A French poll found that Lille is ranked third in France for gastronomy (after Paris and Lyon)! It boasts some vibrant and prosperous commercial areas, modern residential squares, a large university, a brand-new métro system and a very serious attitude to culture, reflected in a busy music and arts scene and some great museums. Its Christmas market is one of the most famous in France with over 50 stalls selling traditional and regional crafts, cuisine and gifts; an excellent place to use French speaking skills.
