Lille

On Saturday I took the Eurostar to Lille in France. I've not been to Lille before but it is very easy to get to on the Eurostar. The trip from Bath all the way to Lille was painless, and the bonus of getting the train is that you arrive in the centre of the city rather than some airport miles out of town.

We stayed in the Couvent des Minimes, an old convent that has been converted into a hotel. The central courtyard has been covered with a glass roof and how houses the bar and (very good) restaurant. The location of the hotel by the water and close to the centre of town is excellent and I'd recommend it as a place to stay if you're in Lille.

The weather on Saturday wasn't brilliant but on Sunday it was warm and sunny so I managed to catch the sights and get some touristy photos.
