There's a massive car boot event every year in the first weekend of September - the biggest in Europe apparently, with literally hundreds of stallholders selling good stuff and tat.

If you like moules et frites, you'll be spoilt for choice.

Search "Grand Braderie".

That is the limit of my knowledge on Lille

Hi, my OH is a Ch'ti, but we live in the South! Lille has apparently become a really dynamic town and I'm sure you'll enjoy life there!

How do Everybody,
I'm Bill & as the thread title suggests I'm here to introduce myself & my family. We are currently 4 (+ 2 dogs!!) with our children aged 12 & 5 but exciting thing for us at the moment is number 3 will be with us in January!!
Justine & I are just back from Mayenne in Normandy after going to see what we thought was THE ONE! So we got over there it was indeed a splendid property & had everything that we could of wished for at a price that although at the very top of our budget we were willing to go for it. That was until we found out about the THT project from Flamanville. The super pylons are due to be planted less than 500m away from the property so it's back to the drawing board for us but one thing is certain we will get to you before long.

Thanks for reading

Bill

Hello!

Well firstly, I'd like to say that this is a fantastic site. I've lived in France for a few years now and despite the numerous searches I've done I've never actually come across this site. I'll probably be posting quite a bit, I have a lot of questions (and time to burn).

So anyway, hello from me! I'm English, living in Paris with my fiancé (who is french), no babies or whatnot !

Ria

Hi Penny, Haute Normandie is a big place, actually bigger than the whole of Belgium!!! I am just outside Lyons la Foret, 45 mins from Rouen, about an hour from Paris. Where are you? Janet.
