When in Lille, test your vertigo and head up into the sky on this giant Ferris wheel. I promise,…read moreit'll be one of the best 5E you've ever spent. I was lucky enough to swing through Lille just a few days after this seasonal attraction went up. When I realized that I had a few minutes in between meetings and the bright blue crisp winter sky was beckoning for a closer look, I snapped up some tickets for myself and my colleagues to soak up some local flavor. The ride lasts only five minutes so even if you're terrified for your life you won't suffer that long. The ascent is really intense, but the ride is smooth and as you crest the top of the wheel you really feel a surge of super human energy. Breath deep, smile (while not shaking things too much) and enjoy the exceptional 360 degree view. You only live once, this is what it's all about.

For sure my favorite cultural place !…read more There's always something to look/listen/taste there ^^ This old train station has been renovated 5 years ago. They host a lot of big exhibitions sometimes very surprising because of the big size of those buildings. An other distinctive feature : this place is made for families (not only of course!) there are always some games and activities for children and parents can play to ^^ On winter they put an ice-skating rink ! sooo fun !! Just in front of the "gare" you will find the "bistro de saint sau" on a lovely old warehouse. It's a famous bar in Lille. There are often some good concerts but it usually ends at midnight. Beers are cheap and tasty, you can also eat (especially for lunch). so have fun !!! http://www.lille3000.eu/gare-saint-sauveur
