Travel - France - Lille - The city we did NOT properly explore

in #streetphotography6 years ago (edited)

Sadly we've come to the end of our travels to France, but don't worry, we went over the border to Belguim for more adventures. ;) After our amazing experiences in Paris, we took a train to the picturesque little town of Bruges in Belguim.

We had a train stop in Lille and had 2-3 hours to get lunch and quickly explore. Even though it sounds like the city center Grand' place is the place to see, we did not have time. We decided to simply walk into a local supermarket to get some bread, ham and cheese (and some Coke for energy). We then found the closest park and Riana had to make our lunch with small plastic scissors, since our knifes will still packed away in our luggage.

What an awesome little experience I still remember to today. It just shows, no need to do fancy or expensive things to have great experiences.

Tell me what you think and stay tuned for more?!

Great pics , i love lille :)

Lille is a very cool town. I spent a few days there about six years ago for Lille 3000 (http://www.lille3000.eu/portail). Next time you go back to Lille, try to go then. The city comes alive with art and it's during the holidays so it's even more amazing. Thanks for sharing your brief trip!

Thanks for the nice info. I'll have to see when I get to the part of the world again. ;)
