"Entertaining. Convinced me of the city's charms. Best Guidebook-- ""Sunday Times"""

Author Information

Laurence Phillips (laurencephillips.com) has been escaping to France since boyhood and has written many and varied guides to the country, two of which (Bradt's Lille and Eurostar Cities) have won the prestigious British Guild of Travel Writers Guidebook of the Year Award. When he started writing about Lille, Phillips says, it was 'a monochrome reminder of a failed industrial past'. Successive editions of his Lille guide have 'chronicled the blossoming of a metropolis coming of age. this once unmentionable city has become a point of reference for the rest of the continent'. He has been described by the French press as a charming bon vivant and by British critics as a witty and entertaining enthusiast. His passion for all things French has fuelled countless BBC radio broadcasts, including Radio 4's Allez Lille, and his is a familiar voice on travel and arts programmes.
