Event Description

Just an hour and 20 minutes from St Pancras Station, Lille is a very accessible city. Its also a lovely place for a short break.  Now firmly in France but full of beautiful historic Flemish buildings, the city is very easy to explore on foot., though the city bus tour is well worth doing. Le Vieux Lille is full of narrow streets, with some stunning boutiques and a wonderful patisserie on every street corner. Eating out is certainly not a problem here. Some of the street art may not be to everyone's taste but it proved an interesting talking point. A short train ride out of Lille to Roubaix and there is the chance to visit the most stunning art gallery, created from a disused swimming pool. A visit in December for the Christmas Market is another popular option.

  • Duration: 60 mins
  • Online Zoom event: Join from your computer, phone or tablet (a recording will be available)
