Lille

So far, Lille occupies the largest area in northern France. It is known for its narrow streets and ancient houses, all of which depict the rich history of Lille. From Paris, I was able to go to Lille by taking the train. By the way, network of rail here is one of the most advance. I wonder if it is also set to have WiFi rail system. Anyway, the city is surrounded by rivers. This alone made Lille a beautiful country side.

Actually, I never intended to go to Lille. It just so happened that a friend of mine whom I am suppose to meet that day failed to come. So, I decided, since I am already in Paris, to go somewhere else. Lille welcomed me with fresh air. During those times, the cold weather prevailed in the city. I was also lucky enough not have been met by occasional rainfall. The cold wind compelled me to take a walk along the Lille roads. When I have gone to the municipal hall, which is, by the way, bares the most intricate medieval architectural design I have ever seen, I learned of the various tribes that make up the 222,000 peoples of Lille. Most of them, of course, are French, while the other tribes came from Africa and Germany.
