We have spent many happy hours in the English Garden in Lille. We have particularly enjoyed the many varieties of fruit trees, many of which are fan trained or espalier trained. They are well cared for and if you are interested in gardens or gardening, you cannot fail to be charmed by this delightful place, which we understand was designed by a Frenchman.
Although our first love is fruit trees - we are still promising ourselves a trip when they are in fruit - there are also numerous other flowering plants, roses in particular, and a charming stone grotto.
We found the garden by accident many years ago, and we still return whenever we are able.
