We were doing quite well at completely ignoring the existence of another nationality.
We arrived into the Franco/Belgian border town with no plans what-so-ever. That was all part of the trip. Just get in the car and see how far we’d get. We’d gotten to Lille, with no idea of what to expect from here or anywhere else on the journey. Despite not having any inclination of what to expect, we were still shocked at what we found. Within the ancient buildings of the city, was a very modern event going on. Something these buildings would never of seen when they were first erected.
