A lil’ bit of Lille
En route to Brussels I made an afternoon stop-over in the town of Lille, France. My cousin Thomas is living there temporarily while he tutors English to the young and old. It’s a great place and far from little when you consider what region is technically counted as Lille.
I wanted to post a note about one bizarre feature of Lille that might draw your attention. One of the main streets of the town is adorned with giant statues of black, bat-like babies. Some of them had spikey tails ready to attack pedestrians, and others were just squatting looking ready to defecate. Apparently they are remnants of a recent festival in the city and are sticking around for a while.
Enjoy.
