Lille, Capital of French Flandres

by Helga67 - last update: Jan 24, 2005

Place du General de Gaulle
300 years ago Lille was a rich and important city in Flandres (Belgium). Now, Lille is the capital of Nord-Pas-de-Calais, the most northern province in France.

The influence of those two countries can be found on every corner of this charming city. Beautiful Flemish and French architecture, local Flemish cooking, great Belgian beers ... it's an exceptional city that you just have to visit one day.

 We're spending two days in Lille this weekend. It looks like a lovely city with plenty to see. I like the sound of the Flemish food in La Vieille.
