Summary
Like many places in France, Lille is a city with strong regional identity, great history (Have you ever heard of Jeanne de Flandre?), delicious local gastronomy, and even craft beer! In this episode we talk about Estaminets, Béguines, Carbonade de Flandre, Waterzooi, Moules-Frites, the Ch'tis, and all the things you must not miss when visiting Lille. So, if you thought Lille was too far off the beaten track, we'll show you why it's actually quite exotic and how you can see it as a day-trip from Paris!
