Hi Audrey,

What a wonderful addition to your food blog. I really like the travels you are enjoying. Oh the memories of time spent in France years ago. Love it.

In reply to Babs. So very kind of you, and so happy to have been of service! I really try to capture the things I loved when I visit a new city/country, and Lille has a lot of beauty to offer (especially when you know where to look). Glad you enjoyed your (short) stay!

Thank you so very much for your itinerary. We just went to Lille from Brussels and would have been lost without it. We were able to do it in about 6 hours as we don’t do a lot of shopping any more. We are in our 60s. We especially enjoyed sitting down at Valarie & Raphael Brier’s for tea and Brioche au Sucre, and Rue Faidherbe and Place du Charles de Gaule. What absolute beauty. You made our day with your itinerary!

In reply to Pat. Thanks! I loved Lille, and the rain-soaked streets definitely added some charm to it on that day.

Thank you for such a beautifully photographed trip through Lille and great memories. I visited between the late 90’s and 2002 several times while living in NL. Indeed, it is just so lovely and the rain soaked streets so familiar. Now living back in the USA, I so miss the pure beauty of the architecture and friendly ways of the people. It was such a special time in my life.

In reply to Jess. Amazing Jess, so glad I was able to inspire you! This is a perfect 1-day trip from Paris. Take the train from Gare du Nord and you will be in Lille in just 1 hour! And you'll experience a culture/food that is much different from Paris.

I’m currently planning a trip to Paris in March and since it’ll be my fourth time there I like to get out of Paris to see a little more of France. I was going to do a guided day trip to the Loire Valley but I like the idea of going off on our own much better. To Lille it is! Thank you so much for the idea and your guide.
