Lille and the Terrils

I haven’t shared many pictures of Lille itself, so here are a few:

And of course while in the old town I had to make a stop for my favorite Lille specific dessert-Les Merveilleux!

Last week, I accompanied some of the students on their field trip to the Terrils, which are mounds of coal mining waste that you can see all around not far from Lille. We hiked one of them as well, so here are some pictures of them:

It was an interesting site to see and I’m glad I was able to tag along!
