You'll be zooming in straight to the heart of Lille at Mama's Shelter, barely minutes away from the city's two train stations. An ancient metropolis that sits at the intersection of roads to Paris, London and Brussels, the once industrial Lille is now one of France’s most underrated destinations. Get lost wandering Vieux-Lille (that's the old town) with spectacular French and Flemish architecture, and pay a visit to Villa Cavrois, a modernist masterpiece by Robert Mallet-Stevens. Take your pick of the city’s remarkable museums and art galleries. Leave room in your suitcase for farmhouse cheeses and antique finds to be found in the city’s markets. Taste your way through the city’s craft beer scene and enjoy a night out on the town, with vibrant nightlife bolstered by the city’s 67,000 students.
