I thought the staff were very helpful and gave us all the information we required. They also spoke English which was a boon!

OK for handing out maps but not much else, it was s truggle to find anyone who spoke English and there were no English translations. Muddled through in limited French but hardly a great international welcome. Location, in Grande Place, is a long way from where visitors enter the city centre ie the train stations.

My advice, go to Lincoln or Birmingham christmas markets, probably something to do with the recession. Meert in Lille great for cakes

But everytime without fail, I only had to simply ask for directions and the French people were only to willing to tell us the way. One very lovely lady even went out... More
