LILLE IN EFFERVESCENCE...
Two days of shopping madness every first weekend in September draw over a million visitors to Lille. This is undoubtedly the biggest flea market in Europe.
Imagine 200 kilometres of sidewalks occupied by stallholders, from the city and from all over Europe. Ever since medieval times, when the valets obtained the right to hold an annual sale of their masters'cast-off clothes and belongings, every-thing has been for sale and for purchase here.
Other than bargain-hunting, another tradition has established itself here - that of a bowl of mussels and chips ("moules-frites") along with a glass of local beer.
A trip around town by minibus will allow you to visit Lille before or after the event. During the sale weekend, the city is transformed, the pedestrian rules and everyone joins the celebration !
This price includes :
- 3 nights hotel (Friday September 5th to Monday September 8th 2008), breakfasts included, in 2, 3 or 4 stars category
- 1 regional or traditional evening meal (main course, 1/4 litre white wine or 1 local beer, dessert, coffee)
- 1 City-Tour (tour of Lille by minibus, lasting approximately 50 mn)
- 1 Lille Guidebook
Optional extra : Flea market Transport Pass (available on saturday and sunday)
