Lille City Breaks 

Lille City Breaks | Short Breaks in Lille from Treyn Holidays

Once the capital of Flanders, the city of Lille has a fascinating history and cultural heritage, blending Flemish, Burgundian, French, Dutch, German and Spanish influences. The city retains a particularly Flemish feel, reflected in its cuisine, its architecture and the unusual "Ch'ti" dialect used by the locals.

Located only two hours from London by train, Lille is surely one of France's most underrated cities. It has a beautiful Old Town, three world-class art museums, fantastic cuisine and a lively evening scene.

The city has a youthful atmosphere, thanks to its huge student population, and is renowned for its cheerful, friendly and welcoming residents. The city was European Capital of Culture in 2004.
