Last Days in Lille

The very last night in Lille we had a group dinner, so the second to last night I went out with the professor I got to know the best for one last dinner. We decided to try this place that had been recommended to us.

I had the Filet de Poulet au maroilles, which is chicken in a sauce made with a local cheese.
My first creme brûlée of the trip!

After dinner, we decided to walk the 20 minutes back to our respective neighborhoods. On the way she asked if I ever finished the citadel walk (the citadel is a huge park that we had walked in a few weeks earlier and at the center is the old citadel, which is still used by the French army today), I said I hadn’t and since we were nearby we decided to walk it since I had to yet to see the actual citadel!

Then it was back to my apartment and off to bed!
