Description
Set in the very heart of Lille, over one million visitors swarm the streets to browse the never-ending stalls that line 200 km of pavements throughout Lille. Scour for bargains amongst stalls selling paintings antiques, ornaments, furniture and “junk” of every description!
Part of the celebration is the eating of “moules-frites” – mussels and chips. Traditionally, after eating you leave your empty shells outside the stall or restaurant and the owners compete to see who has the biggest pile by the end of the fair! As well as the opportunity
to spend the full day on Saturday in Lille we will also transport you into the city on the Sunday morning of your holiday so you can enjoy further free time. Why not spend some time relaxing in the picturesque Citadelle park or enjoying the thrills of the huge
funfair.
