I am South African and travelling for weekend to Lille, France for the first time.

Any recommended restaurants that are in the city?

Any interesting websites to look at before the travel in August?

Check out the Word Travels guide to Lille. http://www.wordtravels.com/Cities/France/Lille It's not very detailed, but does provide a decent overview.

It's a fun place to visit - enjoy!

Hi, I''m an English guy also travelling to Lille in August. Does anyone know of some good chambre d'hotes rather than hotels?
Cheers,
Paul

Carlton Hotel right in the centre is popular. Check out Eurostar bookings - cheaper.
There are so many restaurants around. Steak house right adjacent to the hotel. This is a shopping capital. Very warm weather around 26dg. Euroville which is one big shopping centre, not very interesting. Sundays there is a fresh market just down the road in the old Lille town. Please note that this is in the North of France and everyone that I spoke to except the hotel cannot speak a word of English, very frustrating so I wont be going there again.

Good luck

Alison - you need a Schengen visa. Go the any European embassy in SA and get that ball rolling...

The best seafood restaurant in Lille is A l'Huitrière on rue des Chats Bossus. It's a treat place, not cheap, but if you're only going once...
