City Breaks in Lille

Just an hour from the UK by train, Lille is a thriving metropolis with much to offer the visitor: from the pretty Flemish-flavoured streets of the Old Town to its celebrated Beaux Arts museum.

A young and dynamic city with a huge student population, Lille has a thriving nightlife as well as a fine gastronomic scene (including many chocolatiers), and great shopping (including in the super-modern Euralille complex). 

The city's great centre piece is the Grand'Place, displaying some of Lille's finest architecture and lined with shops and cafés.

Featured below are some great city breaks to experience the best of what this wonderful Northern French city has to offer all of which you can easily reach by train.
