Advantages: Near London by train, cosmopolitan feel, excellent transport connections, eating out, plenty to see Disadvantages: Dog poo
still only know where a handful of buses go despite an encyclopaedic knowledge of the Underground.
WHERE WE STAYED
Our hotel was called Mercure Lille Centre Le Royal (I think the word Opéra and Accor also featured in there somewhere ? these ever-lengthening names tend to happen when hotel chains devour each other). It was a pleasant enough 4-star hotel costing us £69 for a double room and breakfast. Rooms were traditionally European in proportion, with ?assez d?éspace pour brandir un chat?, as the French NEVER say! Whilst modernised to the expected standards, it still retained old-fashioned stairwells with stained glass windows.
Breakfast was a cosmopolitan affair ranging from scrambled eggs to smelly cheeses, with toast, croissants and pain au chocolat thrown in for good measure. We hit the morning rush, which caused a brief hiatus ...

Having visited Lille on a number of occasions I have been astounded by the beauty of the city itself. The main square is of interest as the ageing buildings tell a story of the city's past.
The museums cover a number of aspects, not only from Lille's history but also other important factors such as the Museum of Religious Art and the Natural History museum.
Lille not only provides such wonder but a superb array of shops, cafés and restaurants making it an enjoyable visit.
Lille also has many parks such as the 'Le Bois de Boulogne' which is at close proximity to the city centre. The park combines leisure activities as well as a zoological park.
The large train station makes this city more accessible where parking may not always be easy.
I would recommend Lille to anyone who enjoys historical beauty as well as a good time. ...
