The latest edition of the award-winning Bradt Guide to Lille keeps up with the changes in the city, as it continues to reinvent itself with ever more exciting places to eat, to explore, to relax and to stay. Whether you decide on a Sunday-night tango with stranger in a Renaissance cloister, or order a bowl of onion soup at dawn, should you explore France’s best art collection outside Paris or head for the discount designer stores of the legendary flea-markets, if you share a sandwich with artists in an old post office building or discover the Michelin-starred chefs of tomorrow, a decade since Lille was first chosen as European Capital of Culture the city has not stopped partying since. Come and share the secrets of the past, present and future of a capital of Culture, of Flanders and of Life.
I used this book for a few days in Lille, and it proved invaluable. Just like any other travel guide, there are loads of listings of where to go, eat, stay and shop. These listings are for the most part up-to-date and accurate. We discovered that there are also loads of good places which didn't make the listings, but that's hardly suprising given the size of the city. The small format of the book is also good, as the book comfortably fits into your pocket.But what sets this book apart from other guides is the author's own sense of humour and love of the city. Reading the guide, you feel like you are being guided by an knowledgable and enthusiastic local, rather than just reading a dry listing of what to do.
