A great split between war and non war history and stories of life in Lille with Gregory - We lucked out with our guide Gregory who has the most amazing knowledge of the history of Lille and it’s trials and tribulations through the epochs and eras!
A great split between war and non war history combined with visits to some museums and various sites of interest, the 3 hours just flew by with Gregory.
Thanks again and already thinking about our next trip to Lille!

Not that great - Our guide was very pleasant. Unfortunately, however, the guide had to rely on reading summaries of the various sites. We could have printed those off and read the material ourselves.
