Lille (Phillips Laurence)(Paperback) - diskuze

WINNER: Best Guidebook of the Year (British Guild of Travel Writers)New from Bradt is the thoroughly updated fifth edition of Lille, the award-winning and critically acclaimed guidebook to this exciting, ever-changing and easily accessible city in Hauts-de-France - the ultimate destination for a city break. Lille''s architecture blends the 16th-century cobbled streets typical of old Flanders and the imposing fortress and parks of Louis XIV''s France with converted former factories now serving as modern cultural venues. Here history refuses to stand still, and the city has not stopped finding new ways to celebrate its traditions, routinely toasting contemporary innovations. One of France''s leading centres for gastronomy, Lille constantly re-invents itself with ever more exciting places to eat - whether you share a sandwich with artists in a former post office building or seek out tomorrow''s Michelin-starred chefs - plus new places to explore, relax and stay. Being elected European Capital of Culture in 2004 led to Lille becoming one of France''s most cultural and artistic cities - and arguably its party capital too.With Bradt''s Lille, dance a Sunday-night tango with strangers in a Renaissance cloister, or order onion soup at dawn.
