About this ebook
Lille doesn't quite belong to either country it sits between — and that's the whole appeal. This guide walks you through the ornate Flemish gables of the Grand Place and the overwhelming Renaissance ornamentation of the Vieille Bourse, into Vauban's star-shaped citadel and the wooded park that surrounds it, and through a plate of moules-frites and carbonnade flamande in a proper dark-wood estaminet. You'll learn the legend of the massive annual Braderie flea market, watch centuries-old brick give way to Euralille's contemporary skyline, taste the genuine multicultural energy of the Wazemmes market, and cross the border entirely for a day in canal-laced Bruges and a swim in Roubaix's extraordinary Art Deco pool-turned-museum.
Written in immersive second person, this is not a checklist of sights but an invitation to feel a city that turned centuries at a cultural border into something entirely, comfortably its own.
