Discovering Lille, France
Wednesday October 1, 2008
Lille isn't one of Europe's best known cities, at least to American tourists, but it's France's fourth largest metropolitan area, it has a wonderful medieval core, and it features the oldest Christmas market in France. There's lots to do in Lille for the tourist.
In fact, if it's an easy and compelling vacation itinerary you're looking for, doing the Eurostar route: London, Lille, Paris, and Avignon isn't such a bad idea.
Find out more about Lille, France, then take a look at the Lille Picture Gallery.

In Lille, you’ll find the impressive Cathedral of Lille, the Opera House and the Musee des Beaux Arts, one of the best in France, with an amazing painting collection from the 15th to 20th Centuries. The Citadel has been transformed into a military school and still reminds one of glorious times and battles from centuries ago! Highly recommended.
