Back in Valence after I spent my Easter weekend in Lille. With social media surprising people who love is becoming so hard! Helped by her boyfriend and her mom and I met my friend Armelle behind a bar, she was talking with her friends, knowing nothing about the surprise! Surprise was a success! You already know Armelle for this amazing pictures we did last year in Toronto, because yes she is a Canadian meeting.
We left each other in Toornto last June 30th and we finally met again! I never planed to visit Lille before, it was not really on my top 10 cities I absolutely want to visit.
But I have to confess that after I heard many people told me how beautiful the city was I finally cross the road between South and North of France for us Lyon is already North remember …. It was actually a really nice surprise I found in the other side: the city is beautiful, really dynamic with very welcoming people!
I feel in love with the architecture: colours everywhere, bricks, warm tones, really far from the austere image I always had. For me Lille was rain and grey. I completely assume that I had very bad prejuges. In just 3 days I experienced all the weather possible: wind, sun, rain and hail! What I will remind me about Lille? You will need sun glasses and an umbrella and overall that I was the only one realizing it was actually raining! I laugh so bad Saturday night walking on the street and being the only one covering my head, others will not even notice the rain, they kept talking like usual.
Old Lille is full of small cute streets, really charming stores and a lot of surprises, we took the time to shoot looks for the blog too! Downtown is more about national stores that you could find anywhere else. Outsite of the super downtown you will have to visit the Citadelle de Lille, I wish I could run there I tried to travel not too heavy so no running stuffs ;. And as you could see on my social medias I ate..
