and I am booking one to France soon for £59. I like the appeal
of the day trip, honestly. I really enjoyed it”(http://eatlikeagirl.com)
“It is incredible how much you can do and
how big difference one day break can
make. I will be definitely taking more short
breaks like this from now on.”

“I love the Eurostar, and will definitelyhave to consider more trips based onhow long it took you to get to Lille - Ikind of forgot how fast it goes.”(http://worldfoodieguide.com)

can have a nice dinner. I think it would be
a perfect break from London”

“All in all, it was a fantastic trip, Lille
is a charming little getaway and I

the bistros I came across.”
