Lille Old Town (Vieux Lille)

My parents are not very mobile, so this was a great way for them to explore the Old Town and it was interesting to hear about the history of the city of Lille. I learnt a lot without being overly bombarded with information. Our driver/tour guide, Maxime, was wonderful - very knowledgeable with excellent english and a great sense of humour. Pick up was on time outside Palace du Rihour/tourist office. We drove through many of the streets of the old town and went past sites such as Grande Place, Maison natale Charles de Gaulle, Musee de l'hospice comtesse, cathedrale notre dame de la treille, porte de gand, le nouveau siecle, Rue Royale, eglise catholique sainte marie madeleine. The CVs are from 1989 - they were clean and well kept. It may be a bit bumpy on cobbled stones for some but it was fine for us - the cars don't go fast - and the three of us really enjoyed it. We went late morning on saturday - I worry traffic on the streets around the old town might have been very heavy in the afternoon.
