Wazemmes market
Hello,
My wife and I are planning to visit Lille for a long weekend at the end of this month - October 2008. I've got a broad sketch of what we're going to get up to, but I'd hate to miss out on anything good that may be happening in Lille that weekend.
My - broad - plan is :
Friday - shop, site see, eat out in the evening
Saturday - possibly take the tourist office's English language walking tour of the town, or failing that more shopping, then in the evening there's some tango dancing to be done - I guess food has to come into the equation somewhere
Sunday - the Wazemmes market, and possibly a wander around the citadel gardens, before heading home
Is there anything that I'm missing ? Is there some fabulous music event happening ?
Any and all thoughts are very welcome !
Thank you,
Simon May
You may wish to visit: www.whatsonwhen.com. They do have Lille listed. This is a world-wide site, so it may also become useful later. Gary
You didn't mention art, but there is an exhibit listed at the Palais des Beaux Arts of works by Scandinavian artists who had established themselves in Paris in the 1870's. Gary
This is a follow up to my first post.
It turns out that the weekend that we are planning to visit Lille, coincides with a public holiday in France - and indeed in much of Europe. I am trying to work out at the moment, what that means for the shops, restaurants, museums, and civic buildings.
I've looked at the "Whats On When" web-site as suggested, and it's very good. It turns out that Lille has many arts venues, all of which have a diversity of stuff going on from music, to comedy, to theatre. Again, though, I am trying to plough through to see if the public holiday affects any of the venues.
It also turns out that there is a food festival on that weekend - so great news !
Thanks again for your comments!
All the best,
Simon May

The Chez Willy is a steak house that was once part of the Côte à Côte Hotel and Restaurant chain. Do not let this put you off the service and quality were excellent, we first came here in 2002 and returned this year and ordered the same main courses.

In spite of being 51 metres high, the Calais light house escaped by miracle from the destructions of the last war. For those not daunted by the 271 steps, the reward is a magnificent view. The whole Calais region will be spread out before them. Looking over the straits, the white cliffs of Dover can be seen on a clear day. Looking west, the horizon is marked by the rounded summits of hills in the Boulogne region.
Now a museum, the house where De Gaulle was born is situated in rue Princesse number 9. He was born here in 1890 and was president of the French Republic from 1959-1968. He is famous for his call to resist Nazi occupation in 1940 and for founding the Fifth Republic. He died in 1970.
