Stay at the Hotel Hermitage Gantois. It is a superb and tranquil hotel, that dates back to the 15th Century, when it functioned as a hospice and convent.

The chapel, courtyards and other historical features, including an original ward remain, although now used as meeting rooms, with 21st century facilities.

The hotel can be visited every Tuesday afternoon, when a well infomed local guide conducts a fascinating 2 hour tour of the interior.

Lille is a city of surprise. It has so much to offer. Tourists are treated with respect and welcoming friendliness.

The Carlton Hotel is a few minutes walk from Lille Europe station and your journey by Eurostar is just 1hr and 50mins.

With such a lot to do there, one must plan well in order not to miss out on the really astounding attractions - museums, tours, arrt galleries, extraordinary cathedral & churches, walking trips and the very busy centre with amazing shops.

You will not be disappointed - even after your tenth visit.

Stay at L'Hermitage Gantois for that special weekend.

Four star luxury with food to match, but you can sleep in a nun's cell with a chapel across the corridor and a gruesome medical museum on the ground floor.

Walkable from the station and totally unlike any other four star hotel you can reach by Eurostar.

For weekend breaks try Eurostar offers from London Waterloo to Lille with accommodation. The market on a Sunday is great and the restaurants are good value. I have been going every year for some time now and only had one bad encounter when a waiter took money from the table while I was not there but my wife spotted it, and when I returned he accused me of not leaving enough. The restaurant, Aux Moules, is well known, with the best steamed mussels you can buy. But that is an unfortunate incident that would not stop me from returning to this city. The locals will talk to you with interest wherever you are. This year we made friends with a couple from Dunkirk while in a restaurant and were invited to their home next time we come, and I would say that is typical of the people in Lille.
