Lille and all that

written by Sarah Gordon

The Tall One and I had a flying visit to Lille late last month. The Tall One likes a bit of football, and I like a bit of a city break. So the news that Everton had made it through to the Europea League made us both quite happy. The draw against Lille even better. It’s on the Eurostar route. Even, even better.

Lille turned out to be quite beautiful… although, it would seem I could only photograph shops – despite staying under the walls of the Cathedrale Notre Dame de la Treille. Perhaps need to re-set my cultural compass.

We stayed in Hotel de la Treille, a beautiful small hotel in the heart of the old town. They won me over by teaming linen wallpaper (in a soft grey) with Venetian mirrors. In. Love.
