Giveaway #14: Two Return Eurostar Tickets to Lille
Even though it was only a day trip to Lille, it felt like days and I kept going on and on and on and on and on and on about it. Fortunately, the good people at Eurostar thought of the great idea to put two tickets up for grabs. Read on to find out how to enter.
Currently, Eurostar is promoting the idea of Little Break Big Difference; think along the lines of a mini-holiday. Based on this is this week’s question…
Answer This Easy Question
How would a little break to Lille make a big difference to you?

Terms & Conditions
- Only one entry per person/email address.
- Avaliable to UK participants only, traveling from London to Lille, not Lille to London.

- If the winner hasn’t replied within two weeks to any of the organisers’ emails to collect his prize, a new winner will be randomly drawn.
A ‘lille’ break away would be amazing
taking in all the sites and just lazing
and you just never knows
the other half may propose
now that would really be something!!!!

A little break would give me a chance to consume a big amount of calories in a city known for its foodie delights.

Being self employed there’s no such thing as a proper holiday. But with Eurostar an action packed day could be my annual vacation, especially so as I’m sure my mobile will be without a reception!

Get on the train in York and soon a different world with Moules Frites , a bottle of vin blanc and that special French savoir faire.

I’ve never heard of Lille,
I’ve never been to France,

To chill in Lille would be so brill I’d have to climb the biggest hill and do a dance in vest and pants to tell the world “I’m off to France! Not by boat or common car, but going in style by Eurostar! That beats Uni work by far!”

I am fascinated by the birthplace of De Gaulle and the home of Pasteur, the haute cuisine and the wine. Most of all however I am very keen to understand why the medieval first city of Flanders chose to twin itself with Leeds.

The trip iwith Eurostar is so quick
with no great song or dance,
and it would give me the chance
to taste the very finest
food and drink from France!

My wife being poorly’s a pain,
So I’d like a nice trip on a train,
And then I could let her,
Feel a little bit better,
And help her resume life again.

My best friend Stephane lives in Lille and winning 2 Eurostar tickets to Lille would allow Olivier, my husband, and I to visit him. I met Stephane at university when I was 17 and he introduced me to Olivier in the uni’s cafeteria. We will be forever indebted to him as without him our strong and happy marriage (of 15 years as of the 16th of this month!) may never have seen the day, as would our beautiful children…

Just digging around for articles on travel to Lille and happened upon this competition. Just a little too late. Ho hum.
I was hoping to get over to Lille this football season to take in some French league football (seeing as UK club games close to me are always sold out) and follow up with a cultural exploration with a nice bit of grub and museum visit perhaps the next day. I found a deal with Short Breaks Ltd, Eurostar to Lille from £115pp. That includes train from London plus 1 night hotel on bed and breakfast basis. So I will be researching on French restaurant guides/blogs now before planning the trip.

My daughter took me to Lille on Eurostar as a treat after having an operation. It was fantastic. We must have walked the whole town and then had a fabulous lunch. The chocolate shops were unbelievable.I would love to be able to return the treat since she has suffered 2 miscarriages in the last year and more than deserves a special day out with her Mum

AS I HAVE NOT BEEN ON A HOLIDAY FOR LONG TIME IT WILL TOTALLY RECHARGE ME AND WILL FEEL FRESH AND HEALTHY.
