Cinnamon Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Has anyone been? I ask because my eldest is going this weekend with some kids from her college, & neither of us really knows what to expect over there. I suspect she is hoping for mulled wine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Umm ... I went about three years ago for a weekend with a friend, have to say we weren't that impressed! I think my recollection is flavoured by the bitingly cold wind and driving rain which met us when we got to Lille station, coupled with the total absence of cabs. Not a single one! We spent most of the weekend in our hotel room, which was absolutely lovely as I recall, but the market itself wasn't that great. I was hoping for traditional toys, local crafts etc but it was not much different to anything I'd seen here. I may have just been unlucky, and the weather made us reluctant to hang around outdoors so perhaps I missed some of the better bits, don't want to sound too negative! I'd be interested to hear what your daughter thinks of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 Well, the forecast is good anyhow, & she is only going for the day,so hopefully she won't get too bored! They have booked a local Creperie for lunch I think, & are also going to a museum & art gallery too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 My DD went whilst on her year in France last year. I have to say she wasn't overly impressed either but everyone's different. It always looks nice when you see it advertised. I hope your daughter has a lovely time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
