I'm starting to talk Lille.
It's been just 6 months that I live in the cultural capital of Europe and I must say that this aspect of things I'm into the most by coming to live here. Pace of Marseilles, we had a choice between the city and north ... fosséenne and we have not thought too long. Hey! so we preferred to unconditional sun in the sky, the heart of Lille.
And we must say we are not disappointed: the first smile that welcomes every customer and every visitor with an unconditional "bonjour madame". Then the warm nights of here! We live in a well traveled street, both during the day with its numerous shops and night since it is the way neighborhood bars Wazemmes; without laughing, even in winter weekends from Friday evening to Sunday morning, people are constantly moving beneath our windows, singing (single glazed ...) and it can only make us want to join .. besides, I was very frustrated the first few months here without knowing anyone, to hear people partying in the streets!
It is true that I could m'incruster in a group to celebrate both Lille are friendly ... Yes, I hear you say "to the alcohol ..."... Havre does that people do not walk in the street evening in mid-winter in the rain to sing bawdy songs or hits the top 50 in stopping to talk with passers-by!
It's true that at first I saw only beautiful things, nice people and when I returned to Le Havre as idiots, funny! The truth is not so clear but the difference is still clearly palpable!
Another evening I will continue ...
