Vieux-Lille

Reviewed By sheffieldeats - Sheffield, United Kingdom

Lovely long weekend destination. Great architecture - look for square beyond Place de Lion ( Place de Louise Bernieries?) for interesting Flemish style frontages. Feels safe, relaxed easy going city, with plenty of restaurants through the old town. Do book in advance though or risk walking from one to another looking for a table at weekends.
