Where a car takes you from Lille
These are the day trips from Lille on our own pages where a car earns its keep. Trains reach some of them; a car reaches all of them, on your own clock.
- Wambrechies (genièvre) Wambrechies holds one of the last French genièvre distilleries, working a near-unchanged process on the Deûle since an oil mill was converted in 1817
- Cassel (Flemish estaminets) Cassel sits on the highest of the Flanders hills, and the estaminets on its cobbled square serve potjevleesch cold with frites and beer-cooked carbona
- Bergues (Flemish cooking) Bergues keeps its ramparts and its estaminets, where carbonade flamande is simmered in beer and pain d'épices and welsh arrives with homemade frites
- Arras (andouillette) Arras built its food identity on the andouillette, a tripe sausage made here since the Middle Ages and sold from a shop on Rue du Marché-au-Filé
- Douai (brewing and Douaisis producers) Douai puts its brewers and its farmers together at the Arkéos museum park, where the Houblonnades weekend runs tastings and a producers' market
- Dunkerque (potjevleesch and the Minck) Dunkerque claims potjevleesch as its own, and its Place du Minck stalls sell the morning's catch straight off the boats alongside waterzooi and flamic
