5.00Lille is a gem, with some rough edges. A city that has been conquered and reimagined over several centuries, it has architectural charm to spare. Walking here is delightful and there is so much to see that everyone will find something that interests them. Rafi was our guide and he made the walking both informative and rich with history.
