SCENES FROM THE GRANDE PLACE

I live a short hop, skip and jump from the dead centre of Lille, and its gorgeous 'grand place'. Every summer it's closed off to cars and becomes a pedestrian only zone. One of my favourite things about this city is the architectural mashup; baroque, art nouveau, art deco, medieval and modern. Most buildings are something worth looking looking at (including the one I live in, even if it is likely to be in breach of building health codes).
