Day 1 – First steps in French Flanders
Your weekend begins in the heart of Lille, around the Grand Place and the Vieille Bourse, where cobbled streets, Flemish façades and local life set the tone.
As evening falls, raise a glass of local craft beer in one of Lille’s best-loved bars before sitting down to your first traditional Flemish dinner — generous, comforting and deeply rooted in the region.
Day 2 – Old Town charm & refined flavours
Spend the morning wandering through Old Lille, with its chic boutiques, hidden squares and iconic sweet treats.
The afternoon invites you to discover Lille differently, with an original beer-themed experience or a nostalgic ride through the city streets.
In the evening, Lille turns elegant, with a choice of Michelin-starred restaurants and creative kitchens that showcase the very best local produce.
Day 3 – Markets, culture & local life
Sunday morning is all about atmosphere at Wazemmes Market, one of the liveliest in Northern France — colourful, multicultural and full of flavour.
Later, dive into Lille’s rich cultural scene, from outstanding art museums to unexpected architectural gems just beyond the city.
