Self Drive Lille
Cultural capital in the heart of Europe
Vibrantly modern, yet steeped in industrial history and charm, Lille has worked tirelessly to become a popular short break destination, very fashionable with a reputation for fine cuisine. Traditional restaurants and brasseries along the charming cobbled streets of the old city and in the small squares, are the best places to enjoy some of the Flemish specialities on offer.
A successful marriage of modern architecture and 17th century Flemish buildings, Lille displays real exuberance. In the city’s museums and theatres you can experience its dynamic culture, and at night many of these buildings are other attractions are illuminated. Lille’s name is an adaptation of the word ‘I’île’ (the island), because when the town was founded it was little more than a village surrounded by waterways, now it is reached in less than 2 hours. Travel to Lille by car from Calais: 1 hour 15 minutes.
