Day 15 of your road trip in France is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Lille before saying goodbye to this wonderful destination. If you've still got time left, we recommend doing some last-minute shopping or sightseeing.
If you're up for some more sightseeing, we recommend visiting Paris Gate, a historic monument before you head out.
Make the most of your final day in France by visiting Lille’s iconic markets and shopping establishments in the buzzing Rue de Béthune. Secure the perfect souvenirs for your family and friends back home or buy yourself a remembrance of your amazing experience in France. Savor your final moments in France at a cozy cafe while relaxing with a cup of coffee or tea.
Before you conclude your road trip in France, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Lille.
Treat yourself to a delightful dinner at Bloempot, highly recommended for tonight's dining. Or, if you're feeling adventurous, why not try L'Arrière Pays? It's another excellent option with a diverse menu.
You’ll then say farewell to Lille. Drive to the airport, return your car, and take the opportunity to get some last-minute souvenirs before you board your flight home. We wish you a pleasant journey and hope you leave with many wonderful memories of your road trip in France!
