How about a little break to Lille?

camilleLille is best described as a small place with a big personality. With gorgeous tearooms such as Meert offering legendary patisseries and small boutiques in the old quarter of town, you’ll want to pack up your bags and take up residence.

The weather in Lille is lovely at the moment and there are plenty of places where you can enjoy the outdoors such as the stunning Vauban Gardens.

If you’ve been on a little break recently or have a passion for my hometown of Lille let us know the places that you like to visit. Camille
