From Wiki:
Lille-Flandres is the main station of the city of Lille, France. It is a terminus for SNCF Intercity and regional trains and was named Flandres in 1993 when Lille-Europe station opened.
The station was built by Léonce Reynaud and Sydney Dunnett for the CF du Nord. Construction begun in 1869 and ended in 1892. The station front is the old front from Paris' Gare du Nord and was dismantled then reassembled in Lille at the end of the XIXth century, and extra storey as well as a large clock were added to the original design. Dunnett added the Hotêl des Voyageurs in 1887, and the rooftop in 1892.
More tomorrow on some of the other places I visited over the weekend...

These photos are beautiful. I love night-shots like these.
Sounds a fascinating trip.
i love that first photo... very magical
Beautiful photos, as always. I must say in passing that the words on your Remembrance Poppy clearly mean nothing to Nulabor who have refused to pay for our hero veterans' annual trip to commemorate D-Day. Conversely, they use taxpayers' money to fund going to war on lies ... now as long as the Second World War.
Calum - LOL just wait till the next installment ;-)
Dragonstar - So glad you enjoyed them :-)
James - It was a lot of fun :-)
Sally - I was surprised it came out so well.
2345 - Thank You :-) Sad and annoying isn't it?
