Lille: City Guide by Laurence Phillips

This guidebook won the British Guild of Travel Writers' Best Guidebook Award. Now in its third edition, it's been redesigned in keeping with Bradt's new look for its city guides with a larger portrait format, two-colour text throughout, black-and-white photos throughout, 16 pages of colour photographs and full-colour grid-referenced maps. Packed with updated information, it features at least a dozen essential new dining addresses since the last edition, as well as specialist shops, including the new Galleries Lafayette department store, hotels, museums, art galleries and nightlife venues both new and established, all presented with Laurence Phillips's trademark wit and charm.
