Lille

Lille is a nice town in the north of France, and this was my first visit. There's a really neat old cloister that is now a used book fair, lots of nice buildings with the Flanders-influenced architecture, as well as the small winding French streets. We stayed with some friends of Gildas' and had a really nice time-- he has the greatest friends. Lots of good food and good conversation. The northern French accent is quite special... anyone seen the movie "Les ch'tis?"
